Description of the problem | While driving my 2004 mini cooper home from work one afternoon, i began having difficulty turning the steering wheel. After the initial failure, the problem continues to remain a constant when turning at any speed. The power steering reservoir has been checked and is low, but not empty. I understand that a power steering pump failure is common in this year, make, and model of mini cooper vehicles. The vehicle currently has just over 80k miles. No replacement parts have been ordered and no repairs have been made. |
