Power steering is hard to turn and also takes longer to stop the vehicle, hydro boost is leaking at the base causing the vehicle to turn hard and sloppy stopping, dealership says no warranty for it and it should be okay as long as you keep fluid filled, that comment sounds dangerous and unsafe from the dealership, it continues to leak power steering fluid.
I am experiencing issues of serious rot and rust with components of my truck. First failure was that my power steering pump reservoir rotted through and caused a leak of fluid, had to replace unit. Then transmission line rotted through, causing a leak of fluids, had to replace lines and cooler due to corrosion. Then starter failed, seriously corroded. Had to replace. Afterward, alternator froze up, inside was corroded with rust and would not spin freely, had to replace. Most recently, brake lines burst causing complete loss of braking ability. Will need to replace. I have owned a substantial number of vehicles over the years and this is completely unusual in my experience and has caused a situation that could lead to death or serious injury. I was fortunate to escape both. Furthermore, it has been a serious financial burden and inconvenience to have to replace so many components on a truck that has yet to reach 60,000 miles. I bought this truck new and have taken very good care of it in hopes that my 30,000 investment would last me a good number of years with regular and expected maintenance.
