| The power steering on my car is completely shot. we've replace the pump and examined the hose/lines with no success. i'm am only able to steer my car with much effort. turning or swerving quickly to avoid an accident would be nearly impossible. i've read on the internet that numerous ford tauraus's have sufferd the same problems. this is a manufactuer defect that needs to be addressed. | |||
