This initially occurred in November of 2013. Mileage is estimated at 120000 miles at the time. One day while driving a message came on the dash that said power steering. Although I was able to drive to my destination the force required to turn the wheel while the power assist is failing is massive. I am 6 ft tall and 200 pounds, and I have a difficult time making a turn or sharp curve when this happens. I took the car to the dealership and paid $700 or more to have it fixed. 14 months later the same thing began to happen again and the steering wheel will twitch at idle. However the car stopped having the power steering failing all the time until 3/10/2015. With 167000 miles now on the car the replaced power steering is failing with regular frequency, every time I drive the power steering message is displayed and I have no assist. If anything the steering system fights you to prevent turning. Also it seems as if the steering pinion jumps off a tooth when turning at a stop I hear a strange pinging noise and then the car pulls to whatever direction I turned to at the stop until I stop and turn back the opposite direction. All in all the original power steering module and the one I paid to replace the original one have both failed miserably and are a real danger on the roads. If I have a difficult time with the force required to turn the wheel when the steering fails I can't imagine what someone smaller than me will do if this happens.

While driving on the interstate at 70 mph I lost all power steering. I had to pull over on the side of the interstate and place the car in park and shut it off. Once I cycled power and started the car back up the power steering worked. I then started driving and the problem happened again. It happened a total of 5 times within 200 miles. This problem caused extremely hard steering at high and low speeds which put my family in danger along the interstate.
