1999 DODGE STRATUS — STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST:POWER STEERING FLUID

1. DURING A REGULAR MOTOR OIL CHANGE ON A SPECIALIZED CENTER, THEY NOTED A LOW LEVEL OF POWER STEERING FLUID, AND SUGGESTED ME TO FILL THE POWER STEERING CANISTER. 2. POWER STEERING LEAK OVER THE MANIFOLD, WHITE SMOKE CAME FROM AROUND THE HOOD AFTER A TRIP. WHEN I ARRIVED HOME, A LOT OF WHITE SMOKE AND PIECES OF DON'T KNOW WHAT WERE ON FIRE UNDER THE CAR. THE MECHANISM TO OPEN THE HOOD FAILED AND WE WERE NOT ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE. 3. NO TIME TO CORRECT FAILURE, THE HOOD. *JB
