Low moaning noise coming from the front end. More pronounced during cold weather and when making turns. Dealer told me the brakes were bad (after 25K miles). Replaced the brakes and the noise still there. Over time the noise became even louder. Couldn't stand the noise any longer and took the car to the dealer 20 months later at 45K miles. I was told the power steering pump, water pump, serpentine belt, and tensioner needed replacing. The water pump was under warranty. Replaced everything and moaning noise returned the next day (it sounded worse). Dealer drained P.S. fluid and added P.S. fluid conditioner and the noise is now gone. While listening for the moaning noise to return I'm hearing noises I haven't heard before. I wonder if the P.S. fluid was the problem from the beginning. It would have saved me over nine hundred dollars in repair costs.
While turning left with the turn signal engaged, the steering wheel locked and failed to return back to the center. The consumer had to physically snatch the steering wheel to move it back. The consumer stated that a considerable amount of force was required to get the steering wheel to move back to the center position causing something to break internally in the steering column.
While driving at normal speed vehicle unexpectedly veered to the right. Driver grabbed the steering wheel and the steer wheel did a complete turn but the vehicle didn't respond. As a result the vehicle went into a ditch.
