| Description of the problem | I was driving my tundra when i heard a loud noise. I then lost my steering ability. It was very difficult to make any turns. When i was able to stop, looked under the vehicle and saw some type of fluid leaking very fast. I opened the hood and saw i have no power steering fluid. I had the car towed to the dealership and they said the power steering seal blew causing me to lose my steering ability. I was also told by the dealership that this has happened to at least 600 other cars. *kb |
