ABOUT 7 MONTHS LATER, THE POWER STEERING LIGHT HAS STARTED COMING ON. *TR

THE FIRST INCIDENT, I WAS DRIVING AND MAKING A TURN INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND IT BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS HAPPENED ANOTHER TWO TIMES BEFORE THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT. WHEN I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, THE POWER STEERING OF THE CAR COMPLETELY QUIT. "POWER STEERING" FLASHED ON THE DASH AND IT BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER THE CAR TO SAFETY. *TR
