    Top seal on the rack & pinion started leaking. Replaced the seal twice then replaced the rack & pinion & power steering pump. Then the return hose blew off where it attaches to the cooler. Put the hose back on with a better clamp and then the hose failed. The hose was just replaced & just waiting for the new power steering issue.

    I saw spots of liquid on my driveway and when i checked my car's various fluid levels, the power steering fluid was so low it didn't show on the dip stick. I contacted my dealer service center and made an appointment right away. They discovered that the inner seal on the steering gear had failed. It was not due to an accident, collision, hitting a pothole or anything caused by me. This was a factory failure and a…
