Drove vehicle 60 miles to airport and worked just fine. Returned to vehicle one hour later and started it up. Heard rattling noise from under the hood. Put vehicle in reverse and there was almost zero movement in steering wheel. Was not able to drive vehicle and to have it towed. If this were to happen while driving it could have catastrophic results. Wish to urge manufacturer to reimburse since warranty no longer applies. Vehicle was well maintained and should not have failed at this point in it's life cycle.
