Was leaving our local walmart ; and when almost to the intersection; felt the car wheel wobble like I got a flat tire. So I stopped and got out and looked; didn't see any flats ; started to go and a thunk ; and then I couldn't move; both front tires were pointing in opposite directions. Had to have it towed home; and haven't been able to look and see what the problem is because of the weather. I sure am glad I wasn't going down the interstate at that time; is where I was going .

The factory installed spring type clamp failed to hold the power steering hose on; the hose came off, all the power steering fluid came out and steering was lost. The spring type clamp was replaced with a worm type clamp. Fortunately this happened in a parking lot. If it had happened on the highway or in traffic it could have resulted in an accident. Also the power steering fluid could have blown onto the exhaust system and caused a fire.
A regular maintenance at the dealership caused a defect in my vehicle's brakes, a tire rotation defect and a steering problem(vehicle keeps on pulling to the right and brake pedal too soft and almost touches the floor when used-brake ineffective). The dealer did not show any signs of concern about the safety of the vehicle despite several attempts to address the issue. No choice but to contact company's headquarters.
