Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Power steering failure. the first instance, i was accelerating to highway speed the car chimed two twice. the check engine light came on, a warning came on the information center, stating power steering. at that point i tried steering the car to another lane and found i had no power steering. after exiting the highway at the next exit and coming to a stop i turned the car off. after restarting the car functioned normally. two days later i noticed that steering from center point to the left was extremely easy. when steering from center point to the right there was hardly any assist. no warnings were given during this problem. this condition lasted two days. this evening i drove about three block and made a left hand turn and the warning chime came on and power steering warning occurred again with a loss of all steering assist. i turned the car off and it performed normally until i hit a bump and the system failed again. this happened two more times on bumps. driving back home it functioned normally. the problem occurred quickly, almost no notice, and you had immediate loss of power steering. a couple of times i almost went into the wrong lane from loss of assist. the car was very hard to steer without the assist. *ak
