Power Steering Woes

Hi Miniacs

I am having trouble with my power steering pump. It went out all together 5 weeks ago. I had it repaired at a cost of $798.23. 3 days ago it started acting up again (very hard to turn).

I understand that this a fairly common occurrence, and was wondering if anyone here was or is having trouble. I had to get a pump from another source because the dealer was back-ordered with a long wait to get an original pump. I've heard from others online that were pushing to get a recall from the factory, due to so many owners having problems.

Please respond either way: No problem had or having problems

Thank you,
Larry

Are you still having issues with the pump?

We average about 5 pump repairs a month here ( fan included )

Us too, this morning

My wife's 04 MC had the same issue this morning. Power steering went out, and then we turned off the car and turned it back on and it worked again. We're taking it in for warranty work.
