Protege

  • 99,000 miles
When turning in either direction steering produces a grinding noise. As a result, the steering rack and pinion has malfunctioned. Midas asking for $1400 and says this is common Mazda Protege 1998 problem. I found similar already existing complaint by someone else (reference number: 10083656).
