Well I thought I would share with you all...

Since it been very cold around here we been having a low wining noise form the engine compartment then would stop after the Flex would warm up. Also we were seeing oil ever time the car was used during wet weather (oil slick come from under the car) but no spots on the driveway or anything.

So it went in and the seal on the rack failed and there was no oil left in the rack, it appears it has slow leak and only happen when you hard turned the car. It appeared this happen over months.

Also, when we told it in we told them we were getting the grinding sound form the brakes and they claim it was the steering and not from the TSB that is issue so they refused to apply the TSB
