Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Steering is stiff when turning especially in cold weather. took to windsor, canada dealership and was diagnosed as rack and pinion. did steering fluid flush to see if it would clear up. it improved slightly (weather is warm now) but is still a problem. i am 60, do not drive on bad roads, do not abuse car. regular check ups and oil changes have been done. was assured car would still be safe to drive, just be careful when turning. have negotiated with company for a discount as this is expensive repair and cannot afford at this time. will get 10% discount when i can afford to do it. car has less than 50,000 miles on it and i wonder why a major part has gone wrong at such a low mileage. this brand was recommended as a low repair car and i am very disappointed. i bought car in dearborn, mi.....later moved to canada. dealership in windsor, on, canada is where it was diagnosed. *nm
