There are a few reasons for Power Steering to fail on a vehicle. Some are listed below:

  • The power steering pump failed.
  • The is a leak in the pump, the reservoir, or the lines.
  • The power steering belt, or serpentine belt have stretched and loosened or broken.
  • A line has become plugged - this is typically the result of mixing two different varieties of fluid. Some fluids when mixed will coagulate into solids and plug lines. This can also happen if you've had a slow leak that you tried to do a quick fix with a stop leak product.
  • It might be a problem with the rack and pinion rather than the pump.
