Loose Steering

Hey, I've had my fiesta about 6 weeks (bought from brand new) and everything has been fine but over the last 2 days the steering seems to have become loose and sometimes when I brake hard it kind of slips, also does this sometimes when I just turn the wheel a little. I guess I should just phone the garage up but I just want to know I'm not being paranoid as I always seem to have trouble with cars, new or old!

*edit* I've called the Garage and its booked in for tomorrow.

    Let us know what it is, how serious it is and how much it costs as it could be a valuble bit of information for the club.

    Good grief, after 6 weeks? Yikes!

    I'm hoping it will cost me nothing, but if I get a bill for the record I'll definitely let you know.

    Cheers :D
