    steering has grinding when turning and even just when the car is running and it gets so loud you cannot even hear the radio. I took this to two different garages and its so difficult to get to the leaking -the power steering hoses that they feel they have to replace the whole rack in pinion. The car has 57000 miles and has been only on the interstate driving since I bought it last January 2012. Its now 4 years old so no warranty of course.
