OK...
I am not a happy camper!

My car made weird sounds when I turned the steering wheel. I took it to my local place for an oil change (regular maintenance) and asked them to look into it. They told me that the steering column was leaking power steering fluid and it will need to be replaced by the dealer. I am not upset that its leaking, after all my car is 8 years old, so some major maintenance is expected at some point. I am upset because in mid-february I paid close to $1000 for a new steering column at the dealer because the old was leaking.

So... they charged me for something they did not do, or the parts the put in were bad. I don't see anyway that my day to day driving could cause this damage, because it's the same route I have taken to work for the last four years! I filled up my power steering fluid and I will be going back to the dealer soon...

The other thing that went this past week was my hot water heater! Well, it was 14 years old, so it was expected...it's just an inopportune time.

Salavabitsch!
