| Description of the problem | I started my car, and the power steering light was on. I tried to tun the wheel, and noted the power steering stopped working. I got the car home, and called for service at my local dealerships. They wouldn't give me an appointment". Researched the web, and noted this issue was a wide spread complaint. I checked the fuses (noted them okay), the steering resumed.... However, this is a real concern, being that the steering appears to be an issue for these cars. What can i do to get this repaired? |
