What owners wrote
Complete loss of power steering at low rpm's. While slowing down and going around a turn, the power steering will completely fail. This has almost caused 6 accidents in the last 4 months. Only happens at low rpm's.
SUV pulls to the side when steering wheel lightly released. Brought to dealer 3x but cannot fix, says run for !k miles and see but still recurs. Driver side window makes squeaky noise when open, dealer changed window runner but still noisy. Engine seems to choke when driven after parking uphill, dealer said removed some air bubbles in gas tank but still recurs. Right front shock feels dribbling when driven at highway speeds, dealer cant find any problem.
