Hi gang,
I have a 2001 Exploder Sport. The other day I was pulling out of a parking lot and it felt like it stalled but as it turns out, the power steering just quit working. I drove it home (another 45 miles) and then drove to work the next morning (96 miles) without power steering but when I pulled into my office, it magically started working again. This happened once before about two years ago. I drove it to work only because I figured it would clear itself up again without any intervention on my part. And it did.
Has anyone else had these intermittent occurrences of a loss of power steering that magically starts working again? What do you think (or perhaps know) causes this? Seeing that it's only happened twice since I bought the thing many years ago, I highly doubt it's a power steering pump failure.
Any ideas???
Thanks.
Mike
