| Description of the problem | The power steering has gone out on my vehicle twice in 2 months. The first time, i was driving down a city street and had just turned right into a parking lot. As i turned the steering wheel to park, the power steering went out. It was scary; it took a lot of turning of the steering wheel to safely maneuver out of the way of the parking lot traffic. The second time, i had just left my house to take my vehicle in for its 15,000 mile service. Less than 3 minutes away from my house, as i was making a right turn on a city street, the power steering went out. It was hard to maneuver the car out of traffic, but i was able to do so. In both instances, i heard clicking noises prior to the power steering going out. The first time the power steering went out, i heard a clicking noise as i was turning into the parking lot. The second time the power steering went out, i heard clicking noises as i was backing out of my driveway. My car sat in my driveway with me driving it only twice between the first and second incidence of the power steering going out. I only drove it the second time to get the 15,000 mile service and to see if the dealership could fix the problem. I ended up having the vehicle towed to the dealership. I am afraid to drive my car. So far, the dealership says it is unable to determine the cause of the problem because they can |
