Description of the problem | Daily driving my 04 mini cooper loses power steering intermittently. Sometimes it is just for a minute or two and other times it lasts hours. When i'm driving the car in town i have to pull over immediately as it becomes difficult to steer around sharp corners. If on the freeway it's alarming how difficult it is to steer. I took it to the mini cooper dealership and they diagnosed that it needed a new power steering pump. I had it replaced 10/14/2010. |
