steering effort or looseness in the steering wheel.

side, increased brake pedal travel or “hard to push” brake pedal.
❑ If any slipping or changes in the operation of your transaxle occur,
check the transaxle fluid level.

❑ Check parking brake.
❑ Check for fluid leaks under your vehicle (water dripping from the air
conditioning system after use is normal.
