Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The contact stated while turning the steering wheel from side to side there was a rubbing noise followed by steam pouring from under the hood. Also, the strong odor of oil was present. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for inspection. The dealer determined the power steering hose rubbed into a mounting bolt which resulted in a power steering fluid leak. The service department replaced the power steering hose and fluid.”
