Problem overview

Some Pontiac Sunfire owners report experiencing difficulty turning the steering wheel to the right, particularly when dealing with a power steering fluid leak. Symptoms of this issue include increased steering difficulty during low-speed maneuvers or when stationary, which can be exacerbated by low or dirty power steering fluid. Additionally, some owners find that damaged steering rack seals can lead to leaking fluid during right turns, further reducing hydraulic assist and complicating steering efforts. It is essential for owners to address any power steering fluid leaks promptly to ensure their vehicle's steering system functions properly and to maintain safe driving conditions.
