Thread: Power steering ghost problem,,, HELP!!

I lost power steering the other day completely out of no where when turning off of the highway at high speed.. almost crashed..someone with less upper body strength would have.. I parked the car and turned the engine off to regroup myself then started it up and it was fine.. Drove home.. checked fluid level and replaced the belt.. had not one issue until last weekend the same thing happened again right when I got comfortable it was a fluke and almost took out my couzins Bike..with him on it.. I mean completely dead power steering.. let the car sit that night (no where near home or a jack or a shop) and tried again a few hours later.. still no response.. Next morning i decided to leave early for the long drive home with no PS and it was fine again.. I checked everything I can?? how is this possible to come and go like that.. right now its perfectly fine... I am selling the car but want to resolve this before it kills someone. Ive never heard of a pump doing this and I have no leaks and the belt is not slipping.. its a 2006 GPGXP

I have had the same problem a few times with mine but can't figure it out and neither can the dealership?

Would stability control be kicking on for some reason?

I had the recall done which was the poer steering hose and I also had to have the pump replaced but it has happened in awhile so I'm crossing my fingers

mine did this and my rack was bad but it only took a couple of days until it didn't work at all.

Well it should come out of the cap cause the cap is on pretty tight and I don't think there can be that much pressure in there. What the problem was the high pressure hose at the front of the motor would break or leak and then blow. That's why they issued a recall for it as it can cause a fire.
