Description of the problem	Rack and pinion is leaking power steering fluid. A crack in the seal has developed in the rack on the front passenger side. The vehicle has never had any other issues like this before. Also the computer has not indicated low power steering fluid but the mechanic told me it was low. The vehicle was not driven recklessly or off road that would cause a crack like this. There is no simple fix for this other than a $1300+ repair for an issue that is a defect. I have had 2 mechanics and the dealership look at the issue and give me quotes. I discovered this in january.
