P/S Power Steering Issues (Ongoing) - my.IS

ORIGINAL POST (11-27-09)

Alright, I'm lost, the P/S light went on in my car this evening and I have total loss of power steering.

I stopped at AutoZone and got some Power Steering fluid but can not find the reservoir for the life of me.

The manual does not say anything about Power steering as far as I can tell so I am looking for any direction I can get at this point.

Where do I fill up the reservoir?

Thanks, Kyle

Wow, freaky! I think they need to replace the power steering again.

OMG... that is crazy!

I'm shocked at how violent the steering wheel is moving around like that... you are right... somebody could get hurt. Hopefully they can fix everything for you.

How is your car beyond this issue? You don't really expect issues like this from this brand.

Holy shit...

It's just like watch my G25 react to button testing in Windows!

The steering ECU must have gone totally whacko.

His steering ECU is running Windows Vista...

Probably.

Car has been fine... Owned it for exactly a year now and these are the only problems I've had...

must be the lack of oxygen up in denver causing the ECU to freak out..

wow, thats so strange, i'll be sure to show those videos to my master tech at work

Cool, I'm curious as to what they may have to say about it (if anything)...

I still have yet to hear back from the dealership about when I may get the car back, or if they have determined what the problem is. I have a feeling they are still scratching their heads...

What are your actual front wheels doing while your steering wheel is shaking violently like that? Are the front wheels shaking as well?

It didn't seem as though the tires were moving... try moving your steering wheel 1 inch right or left, I don't believe the tires will move much... Then try moving it 2 inches right, and 2 back to the left repeatedly really fast until the steering wheel is a blur

there's another guy over on CL that is having this same issue, sorry for the cross posting on forums, but you need to know that you aren't the only one with this issue

Thanks for the heads up!

It's crazy that both of our indicants happened within about a week of each other... As far as I can tell, we are the only two (online) who have ever experienced this problem...
