Description of the problem	A family member in another state owned and pampered this vehicle for many years, prior to my acquiring it. Recently the hose to the powering steering pump blew off while she was driving it (non highway) and it was taken in to be serviced (through the dealership), well after their initial repair, we were told that during their test drive "after" that repair, the hose had again blown off so more days were needed with the vehicle to again repair the issue. A few days later we were called and told that issue had been solved and that we could retrieve the vehicle. That same night, i, while sitting in the vehicle (with it in idle), hear a "pop" which turns out to be the hose again, mind you, each time this happens, the pump spews power steering fluid all over the engine, this particular night i even found it on the underside of the engine roof. Well the car was again sent back to the dealership the next day, they had it approximately 3 days before again we got the call that the repairs had been completed, we were told that this time it was due to probably what was a faulty power steering pump, which they replaced. Two days later i took possession of the vehicle as the original owner (family member) was too concerned about driving it again. Thankfully my drive back to my state (2 days later) went uneventful, however, 2 days after being home and driving it (non highway), sure enough i hear that familiar "pop" and again the hose has blown off, power steering fluid everywhere, along with my sanity. I see that this was a known issue back in 2012 but it never became a recall, but, a fix was implemented, so if this is the case why is this happened with the same piece of equipment numerous times and the dealership can't seem to solve this known issue??
