| Description of the problem | I have a 2005 dodge caravan that i have had for 2 winters now and both winters it has blown the power steering pump leaving a giant red puddle on the ground and a giant repair bill on my wallet! I have discussed it with my mechanic and was told to expect this at least once a year! I do not find this acceptable. This time it happened in my driveway but last year it happended on the road and almost landed in the ditch as a result!*cw |
