Regal 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 14,110 miles
I have a 1998 Buick Regal. In December the power steering went out, I was able to turn to the right and with great difficulty, able to turn to the left. The automobile has only 14343 miles on it and the VIN no. Is [xxx]. I would like to report this because if my wife was driving I feel there would have been a serious problem she being not as strong am me. I reported this to Buick and they told me there was a recall but my VIN no. Was not included. I feel that all 1998 Buick should be recalled and checked. Thank you.
