: the contact stated while the vehicle was in reverse at low speed, there was a loss of all steering. The contact immediately placed the vehicle in park. After initial inspection by the contact, it was determined the steering rack and pinion fractured. The dealer was alerted.

Grand Am 4-cyl

I was making a left hand turn into a parking space and my power steering went out causing me to hit the car next to me. My car has been in the shop at least 4 times to try to get the problem fixed with the power steering and they say there is no problem. Yet the power steering has gone out 7 times 2 of those times causing an accident. The first accident was around 7,000$ the 2nd one was minor and estimates are being done now.
