“My wife's 1994 Caprice has had intermittent non working power steering since we bought the car new. It is a total lost of steering as if the belt had broken or the motor was turned off. After several lengthy service trips to the dealer, who acted like we were crazy, nothing was ever done to the car. Recently (2 months ago) my wife started saying that now the car would not turn left at higher speeds and she has actually had to go straight through an intersection because she couldn't turn left. It also was failing quite often while turning at very low or no speed. …”
