Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My steering all of a sudden was loose and scary to drive. i checked my powers steering fluid to find that i was almost completely out. so i filled it. one day later it was down again. i took it to a shop and found out my rack and pinion needed to be completely replaced, at 75000 miles. i have had plenty of vehicles over 150000 miles and never replaced a rack and pinion. this just seems to bizarre for me. also my transmission sometimes wont go into gear when i shift for a few seconds and then it will click in. it doesn't matter if its cold or warm either. when i took it to a shop they drove it for a couple days and couldn't find a problem but it still does it. *nm
