As I was exiting the expressway about 50 mph it became clear very quickly that the power steering had failed but the engine was running fine. It took much effort to negotiate the turn and thought I may crash into the guard rail but did not I proceded carefully about mile where my appointment was and had the vehicle towed to the dealer. A pully had broken off and was laying in the engine compartment upon inspection. This vehicle had a major recall regarding the water pump that involved the losening and disassembly of many componets in the same area of the engine. This problem was very serious in the sense that I had no warning that a problem existed with the steering until exiting the expressway, had my spouse been operating the vehicle she may not had been able to negotiate the exit ramp.

Power steering pulley just broke off. The bolt remained in place. The pulley just sheered off the bolt very strange. I was backing up when it happens. I contacted the dealer they came and towed the car away. The car is still at the dealer. They told me they had never seen that before. I suspect it may be a deffective part. Dt.
