The steering sticks/locks and pops when turning to the right making if very hard to impossible to steer, but works fine when turning to the left. The problem is worse when the car first starts and improves as it is driven. The steering gear has been replaced twice now (at 34k and 92k miles). The Volvo dealer reported no problems with the steering pump and could not explain the reasons for the repeated failure, simply reporting the steering gear needed to be replaced again. The problem did go away after replacing it again. The issue was also reported to Volvo of America, as this could be a serious and life threatening failure, by impeding adequate steering.
