I saw another thread on the same model.

I'm also having a few problems.


One of the problems seems to be steering. Like when I'm backing out from the parking lot and turn the steering wheel while it's not moving and then try to pull out, it makes a sharp shrieking noise which stop when i stop turning the wheel.

Also It used to make some type of sound when I'm turning the wheel which i presumed to be a result of power steering.-- it sounded like faint hydorlics sound. I've noticed that I don't hear that normal sound as much.

Instead I hear grinding noise when I turn the wheel as if the wheel isn't well lubricated.

What do you all think the problem is? And what will be an estimate for fixing it?

I'm thinking maybe steering fluid leaked out or there is some defect in whatever is holding the fluid in. and it leaked out now it's trying to steer without the fluid. Of course I have no idea what I'm talking about.. but that's my guess.


Another problem is that the front windshield appears to be leaking some place. I do no thave a crack at all. It seems to be leaking at the seams. I just don't know where. When it rains I see the water collecting on floor of the driver's side.

How much will this be to fix? If i don't fix this, will it cause any further damages to the car?

thanks for any thoughts.
