Description of the problem | Temporary loss of power steering. Happens probably once or twice a month. I have been told by the dealer that i have a power steering leak - but not bad enough to cause a problem. I have never lost a quantity of fluid that required refilling. Car has approximately 70k miles - seems odd to have a power steering leak at that mileage. Leak first showed up at about 50k miles. |
