Steering Is Tight problems of the 1999 Plymouth Voyager

Losing power steering from bumpy roads and during bad weather. This happened three times within a 30 day period. . . . . . First, while changing lanes in city I noticed that the power steering was hard when I made a right turn, had to keep going with traffic, when I made the second right turn I realized that the steering was out. . . Parked at destination. . . When I came out noticed something hanging under the van, upon further inspection I found out that it was a belt hanging but it was not broken. . . When the tow arrived he stated the power steering belt came off. . . At the auto shop he checked all pulleys and replaced the belt as he said it looked to be new still. . . I was on my way, no problem. . . . . . Second, while raining we went a good distance, 2 hour drive, returned and when parking noticed the hard steering, looked and yes belt off, since we knew what it was brother put back on. . . . . . Third, on the I-90/94 expressway in the snow, after stopping for gas about 15 mins on expressway steering got hard again, I rode trying to get to exit to stop, car began to reeve when I went over 40mph. . . Finally car began to give out, all lights started blinking, motor just stopped. . . Pulled over under a bridge called 911 they sent tow. . . At the shop he said belt came off probably when I went over snow at gas station (Dec. 20, 2012 blizzard in wisconsin at this time). . . All pulleys looked fine, he put belt back on. . . I rode straight 4 hours without stopping for fear this might happen again and it was getting cold and darker outdoors. . . Finally at home to scared to drive any distance. . . . . . Will have it looked at beginning of new year 2013. . . . . . Would really like to know why this is not a recall when the steering can go out at anytime. . . This is very dangerous, especially for those of us that travel on expressways often. . . 12. 29. 2012 [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S.
