Description of the problem	When i start my journey, the power steering goes out and there is a huge puddle of fluid under my car. I've looked on line and the exact same problem is happening and being recalled, yet my car hasn't been. I don't understand that if the leaking is a safety problem, why my car is not included. The leaking occurs in extreme cold weather, which is what wisconsin has been having. I haven't been able to use my car for a month, or more, unless i fill it up with power steering fluid every time! My journey has the block heater that is part of the problem of the leaking, i guess. Either way, the recall should include all journeys with this same exact problem! We have used all kinds of clamps to hold the hose on, but it still happens. This isn't just a one date that this has happened, its been 17 times in the last two months, if not more.
