1 Transmission Gear Slipping problem

Failure Date: 11/08/2012

While driving last week my wife noticed that when turning into a parking spot the steering stiffened up and had to make a sudden stop as to not hit the vehicle to her left . I checked the car out and noticed it is mostly affected at low speed while making turns either left or right this had no warning and could be very dangerous. It is just luck that a walker or jogger were not on the streets at the time . This needs immediate attention I will attempt at repair myself as it is out of warranty possible rack and pinion also transmission slippage at times.
