I drove car and parked it. The next day I noticed when turning corners it was hard to steer, no power steering. It is not that noticeable while rounding slight curves in the road. The power steering fluid level is fine. I parked it in my garage thinking perhaps the extreme cold conditions was a factor. After parked in garage overnight, it initially handled fine, drove 19 miles and parked it. Drove it and it suddenly recurred. Called dealer and has never heard of the problem.
