| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: For about a week strange noises were observed upon shifting from park into reverse. during a 5 mile trip into town, power steering pump noise was observed when turning. upon reaching destination i experienced difficulty maneuvering into a parking space and observed a lot of steering pump noise. upon return home i checked the reservoir to find it extremely low and a check under the vehicle revealed fluid had been leaking and distributed all the way to the back of the vehicle. upon filling and starting the vehicle, no apparent location was observed except the connection to the rack & pinion looked to be leaking but the only evidence was apparent lack of dust build up which was evident around the attachment plate which indicates there has been enough flow to remove buildup from leaking condition. *jb |
