I was reading a post you had with a man about the steering recall. My car meets exactly what you had mentioned. I have had nothing but problem after problem with the car. It was the power steering hose had burnt twice. Then had issues with brakes or shaking. So I replaced tie rods, hubs, brakes, rotors. It still throws the code for steering speed sensor. And now has power steering fluid poring out from under the car. I have spent thousands of dollars trying to fix this car. And am told it is not covered under the recall because it has hydrologic power steering. What can I do?

Unfortunately if the recall does not cover this failure then your only option is to fix where this is leaking. Are you able to locate the leak?

If it is pouring out it sounds like the pump seal has failed.

I attached the info for this if this is what it is but if you get a video of the leak then that will help us figure out what the possible cause of it is.

Thanks

I apologize, I should have attached the link from the post I was speaking of. The power steering leak is from the power steering hose, manufacturer ran it right above the manifold. This is the 3rd time in a row. The steering issue I was speaking of is issues with the traction and ABS. And horrible clunking noise. The car throws the code for a wheel speed sensor. But everything is new.

Okay. Maybe I am still confused. You have a clunking noise when you are turning? Also, what codes are you getting?

Lastly can you get a recording of this noise as I am sure that will help us get on the same page. Thanks
