| 67000 mi US $300 |
Car was clunking when turning corners. Tie rod end was determined to be bad and replaced. Was told that steering rack is leaking fluid. Dealer did not recommend action at this point, only to monitor fluid level. This is unusual and very disappointing for a vehicle with low miles. Engine makes whining/grinding noise upon cold start. Dealer claimed power steering fluid was low and that was causing the problem. Topped up fluid, but the problem remains just as bad. |
