The power steering becomes inoperable at low speeds, causing significant risks in proper maneuvering. The safety of pedestrians is of particular concern, as one incident recently demonstrated, when I could not turn the wheel fast enough. I had to jerk the car to a stop, nearly scaring the life out of a middle aged woman. The car is virtually impossible to parallel park.

The steering in the vehicle became more difficult with unusual noises. As the power assist started to fail. The steering started to make loud popping noises when turning right or left. The mechanic replaced most of the under carriage steering assembly and greased the steering shaft connected to the steering wheel.
