Recall no.#02V286000, power steering assembly: The recall was done and the lower pinion bearing was replaced. Two weeks later the power steering went out on the vehicle again, making it hard to turn corners. Two other dealers have checked the vehicle and found that the lower pinion bearing was defective and another one was needed. Also the dealers will not repair the problem free of charge.
