The contact owns a 2001 Chevrolet Express 1500. While attempting to make a right turn into a parking lot, the power steering failed. There were no warning lights illuminated on the instrument panel. The steering became extremely stiff and required all of the contact's strength to maneuver. An independent mechanic stated that the steering shaft snapped off inside the steering. He further stated that this failure was common for this specific make and model vehicle. The failure and current mileages were less than 111,000.
