The contact owns a 2009 Volvo Xc70. The contact stated while driving she noticed a very loud noise in the front end of the vehicle. The dealer inspected the vehicle and determined that the hose that provided steering fluid to the steering system caused the steering rack to fail. The steering rack is currently being repaired at no cost to the contact. The contact is in the process of notifying the manufacturer. The vehicle identification number was unavailable. The failure mileage was 360 and the current mileage was 400.
I started hearing a loud noise when I turned the steering wheel. The mechanic tried changing the power steering fluid. This remedied the problem for 6 months before the noise returned. Upon further inspection by an import car service, the right side of the rack and pinion steering need replacing, costing $1700.
