This is the second time within three months this has happened. First time I was driving at 30 mph and was able to safely pull over. Second time. Driving and all the sudden lose power steering. A hose under car keeps bursting at the pinch clamp and losing all power steering fluid. This has happened twice this winter. Last night at start up with below freezing temps. Car started heard a noise like I ran over something ( car was in park) and lost all power steering fluid.
I started my 2010 Dodge Journey and was driving down the interstate. I began to go around a sharp curve and realized I had lost all power steering. This almost resulted in a crash into another vehicle and then almost a barricade. Thankfully I was able to somewhat gain control of the vehicle. My wife and 10 month old baby were also in the vehicle. I later learned that the power steering return line had ruptured. I would consider this a isolated incident and not a vehicle problem if there wasn't already a recall for other Dodge Journeys with the exact same problem.
Everytime it gets cold outside my power steering line which I believe is the return hose keeps blowing off and lose the power steering. My wife and kids where driving and almost got into a bad accident due to it. It been happening for past 3 days.
