While driving a grinding noise was heard coming from the front. Consumer noticed a liquid leaking from underneath the vehicle while parked. The driver was able to drive it to the dealer for inspection. Mechanic determined that rack and pinion steering needed replaced.

Rack and pinion went out on vehicle--Volvo says part is not available to repair vehicle, part is under investigation. No one at Volvo will give me reasonable resolution to the problem. Totally uncooperative.
