Description of the problem	My car would not start after i had stopped to get a hair cut. I cleaned the battery terminals and was able to get it to start. When i tried to turn the steering wheel it was very hard to turn the wheel. I managed to drive it a half block to a napa dealer so i could replace the battery and i was going to buy some power steering fluid. I was surprised i could not even find the power steering reservoir. After i replaced the battery the steering returned to normal. Really scary now after i researched and found out than many others have had the steering go out when they were driving at high speeds. Not sure why there is no recall on this.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
