    I have a 2011, it drives straight and easy down the road but any kind of turning is very hard to turn the steering wheel. Pump does not make any noise or use any fluid. Just was curious if its my pump or need to replace steering rack. Curious what others have done with current year models. Thanks

    What it the service history on the steering system? Mileage?

    Hows the tire pressure on the front tires? Let's first start with something free instead of replacing an expensive part just so the issue remains... 2nd sometimes power steering fluid gets burned on the full level, suggest you wiggle it to verify its full. Have you flushed the system?? Hows the serpentine belt?
