: the contact stated while the vehicle was parked, the ignition was turned on and the contact heard a loud thud. The hood was lifted and the contact noticed the serpentine belt was off. A passerby determined the bolts that hold the power steering pump had sheered off, causing the power steering pump to fall out of the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence; it has not been seen by a mechanic. The manufacturer was alerted. Updated 4/19/2006 -
