Orlando Toyota Service Center explains power steering
- If you hear strange noises like a screeching or groaning when you turn the wheel, your power steering may need some Orlando Toyota service.
- If it gets extremely difficult to steer your wheel, the power steering may be going out. Get your vehicle to our Toyota Service Center right away before it goes out completely!
- If you see a red-colored fluid under your vehicle it could mean your power steering fluid is leaking, which is a problem you a want to have checked out right away!
What should you do when the power steering fails?
- First, you want to turn on your hazard signals to warn everyone around you that your car is having issues.
- Then, you should take your foot off the gas pedal and press on the brakes to slow your car (you may need to press harder than usual, as loss of power steering can affect your brakes).
- Try to steer your car to the side of the road while coming to a stop to get out of the way of traffic.
