The contact stated on February 3, 2007 when she attempted to put the vehicle in reverse she noticed there was no power steering, there were no warning indicators. The current and failure mileage were 99,000. The contact put power steering fluid in the vehicle, and it all leaked out. The vehicle was towed to a mechanic. The contact did not understand what the mechanic said needed to be replaced. The blower for the heater only blew cold air. This has been happening since february2006. She had it repaired.
