  • Automatic transmission
  • 26 miles
Intermittent failure of power steering when turning. Has happened consistently since purchase of T he vehicle in May 2003. Taken to dealer for service twice and each time the dealer has been unable to confirm the defect so no repair has been made to date. The truck is currently at the dealer to drive until defect is noted.
