Tl*the contact owns a 1995 dodge intrepid. While driving at a speed of 40 MPH the contact heard a loud pop and suddenly the power steering stopped functioning. The contact had minimal control of the steering wheel.

The VIN was not available. The failure and current mileages were 195000.
While traveling on the highway without prior warning power steering failed.
Both inner and outer tire rods broke without prior warning, causing loss of steering control.
3 months ago it needed both inner and outer tie rod ends replaced. Today we went around a corner and the rack and pinion failed. No steering and almost hit a parked car. Vechile towed to repair shop and I am waiting to get a estimate. Front end problems and steering problems since we bought it. Transmission is starting to go and we have had the air conditioner worked on 3 years in a row. We are going to trade it in asap.
With complete sudden failure ..could cause a loss of steering..with a partical loss ..it will cause your car to steer right when gas is given and steer left when letting off gas..will almost change lanes from gas to let off.
Pe99040, while driving vehicle rack and pinion bolts sjeared off which caused the rack and pinion to drop, and to had no steering ability at all .
I was about to get on a major interstate when my left wheel and right wheel went into different directions. How is it possible that I had no steering capability at all. Shouldn't some steering ability exist always except in the case of no power. Had I gotten on I-95 I would have crashed having absolutely no ability to control direction even an eight of an inch.
Was pulling out of parking lot. Felt like the emergency brake was engaged. Had heard a thunk when the steering wheel was turned either left or right. Then another thunk was heard & lost steering power. Was towed to dodge & informed both steering mounts had broken. Not repairable.
At 58,000 miles the rack and pinion steering has malfunctioned, causing loss of steering control. Vehicle is hard to steer.
While driving the power steering failed. While inspecting the problem the owner noticed a hole in the top of the power steering fluid reservoir. Owner believes problem is due to battery acid corrodes the plastic power steering reservoir.
Inner tie rods are attached to a bolt. Only if bolt gives vehicle will lose steering. The dealer has been notified.
