I have a 1998 Buick Regal. In December the power steering went out, I was able to turn to the right and with great difficulty, able to turn to the left. The automobile has only 14343 miles on it and the VIN no. Is [xxx]. I would like to report this because if my wife was driving I feel there would have been a serious problem she being not as strong am me. I reported this to Buick and they told me there was a recall but my VIN no. Was not included. I feel that all 1998 Buick should be recalled and checked. Thank you.

Consumer noticed while traveling and making a left hand turn that power steering locked up. Vehicle rolled after a stop and power steering locked up from then on. Hard steering and clunking noise on left turns.

Steering wheel would not turn in left direction, and it was power steering. Extremely difficult to operate vehicle safely.
