Description of the problem	I was on my way home from making some errands, went to turn left and i thought the car had cut off or something. Because it didn't want to turn right, but to my surprise it was running. So i manage to turn it before i hit the curb. When i got home i was able to see what was wrong. The power steering quit working. I let the car cool a little and got back in it and the power steering was working again. Come to find out the power steering works for about 10 minutes and goes out, until it cools off. I started looking on the internet and found out i'm not the only one with this problem. This is very dangerous and i mean dangerous. I called my mini dealer to see if there were a recall on this problem and they said there wasn't. But i did see they had a mini dealer notice for them to look out for this problem, but not fix for free. So we need a recall before someone gets killed or hurt, if it hasn't already happened.
