Description of the problem	All of a sudden i was unable to steer the car. Specifically, according to my mechanic the o-ring failed in the steering pump return hose. This caused an air leak it is a good thing i was only going slowly. The car had low mileage. The o-ring that failed was made of plastic and became warped due to engine heat over 9 years. This failure could have caused a major crash and death to the occupants in the car. I am sure that my car was not the only one with the o ring failure. Check at youtube. In my opinion there should be a recall for this car.
