| Problem Category | Number of Problems |
|---|---|
| Power Steering Fluid problems | |
| Steering Column problems |
In less than 53,000 miles the rack and pinion steering has begun leaking resulting in hard steering. I have to add power steering fluid regularly.
While driving during inclement weather a noise from the steering column could be heard. Also, when stopping vehicle steered to the right. Dealer found no problem with steering. Vehicle, at times, hesitated and stalled while driving at highway speeds. At about 4,000 miles, the check engine indicator warning light illuminated.
