I'm a bit grouchy about it because I just had it repaired! Apparently the parts were flawed. I just paid out the nose to get power steering pump, rack-and-pinion, and hoses replaced, had to take it back a week later because the new pump broke down, back again for rack-and-pinion today. He guarantees his work and the parts though. He's fed up with the parts and so is trying to find a non-imported supplier for new ones. He's mad as heck about the junk they foist off on mechanics...

But, the alternator and the cam sensor also went boom today, so the "little blue pill" as I call it had better start behaving soon!

I’m so sorry you are having troubles. It is never a good time for extra expenses – but especially right now… Don’t get my GMC comments wrong. I still have to spend money on stuff – like $800. on on friday… but it just for normal stuff… Ever think about getting something else to drive that has parts that are easier to get right?

It's a Ford, 'about the only thing around here thet they can get parts for fairly easily. I'd get another car, but it's still cheaper to keep replacing bits on this one than the car payments and extra insurance. At least when this is done, it'd have new cat converters, alternator, new battery, new power steering pump and rack-and-pinion, and the transmission is less than 5 years old.
