| Description of the problem | There are two problems that have shown up all at the same time just recently. Over the last several weeks it seems that everyday when i go leave in my car i am getting a new warning message about another light i need to check. At first it was prompting me to check the right rear tail light which appears to be working fine. But now the list has grown to include that tail light, a turn signal light, license plate light and a couple more even though to me it appears that all are working fine with the exception of the license plate light which is truly out. However the warning are listed for all these malfunctioning lights. The second issue is with the power steering. It started making a distressing noise one evening on my drive home, in which i was able to reach my home without trouble. However when i tried to leave the next morning the power steering on the car was completely not working and i was having such a hard time turning the wheel backing out of my drive that i thought it smart not to take it out on the road and pulled it back up into my driveway where it has sat for the last several days. Luckily my son is away at boarding school but he doesn't need his car there so i have had it available to get me to work and back until i had the time to look into the issue with my car which i am doing now. |
