Hydraulic Power Assist Steering System Problems of Mitsubishi Galant

Nothing extraordinary leading up to this failure but on the morning of oct 4th I was driving my 2005 Mitsubishi Galant LS at 55 mph and experienced a total power steering failure. Fortunately I was able to slow the vehicle down and pull off to the side of the road. I then opened the hood and there was a fluid covering the underside of the hood. I called roadside assistance and a tow truck was dispatched to pickup the vehicle and deliver it to a Mitsubishi dealership, which happened to be metro Mitsubishi in bloomington minnesota. Not that a statement by a tow truck driver is law but he mentioned that this is not the first time he has seen this issue and that it was his belief that there should be a recall on this vehicle as a result of this issue. Metro Mitsubishi called me a few hours later to notify me that it was indeed a steering pump failure and they would not be able to get replacement parts until the next day which meant that I was now without a vehicle because this vehicle that I'm leasing is my only means of transportation. The pump was replaced but a steering failure at any time and at any speed is a very serious safety issue and needs to be investigated. I look forward to you response to this issue. Thank you douglas niznick.

Mitsubishi claims they know nothing about campaign number 01v295001 issued by your organization and will not tell me if my vehicle is affected. They referred me to this site after telling Mitsubishi about the specific campaign number. N;u.
