What owners wrote
Consumer stated while driving, the front end on the passenger side collapsed to the groung without warning, the dealer replaced the right outer tie rod end, consumer stated vehicle was hard to start, possibly due to a dead battery, the ABS light illuminated, also the passenger speaker in the door was blown.
Dt: the steering is difficult to steer when making left turns at low speed. Took to a dealer for this problem and the dealer thought this to be a power steering pump failure. The pump was replaced and steering gearbox as well. Dealer said the gearbox would have to be replaced to correct this failure. No problems since the repair. The steering gear box had been repair before per a service bulletin.
