Whenever it rains, in portland oregon, that is all the time, the power steering goes out. You can hear the belt slipping and all the electrical warnings go on. This is an accident waiting to happen. Due to the dangers of this problem, we will not drive this vehicle when it is or has been raining.

The power steering on our 2002 dodge grand caravan has failed during operation on 3 occasions. The first time was on a trip to providence ri where the reservoir failed on the highway. We reached our destination with great difficulty, as steering was virtually impossible -- my wife would not have been able to turn the wheel. The pump had been repaired in 2007. On this occasion, the seals and rack were replaced for $800. Since that time, the power steering has drained completely as a result of a broken hose and broken seals. This happened in november 2009 and january 2010. The hose was fixed in november for 150. The broken seals/hose are currently under repair. I understand from our mechanic that this is a common problem for this automobile due to poor design.
