problem #1

Jan 082007

Mountaineer 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 95,000 miles
My drive to work is ~ 14 miles, on 1/8/2007 while pulling into a parking space (traveling at a very low rate of speed) my vehicle lost power steering. I actually thought the vehicle stalled, but after coming to a stop I pressed the gas pedal and the vehicle was still running, the power steering came back, I turned the steering wheel all the way left and then right a number of times. I see a similar complaint (ODI id number: 10038075), this hasn't happened since.
