"Good car until the steering would not work"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Steering control problem causing an accident.

General comments?

Steering became unresponsive and developed a mind of its own at 70 mph.

I've had problems with my power steering as well. A return hose developed a hole, and now the power assist is intermittent.I've refilled the power steering oil tank.

Any hints from your experience.

By intermittent, you mean it feels like it sticks or stutters? Did you replace that hose that developed the hole? Even if you filled up the reservoir, if you didn't replace the hose it could still have a loss of pressure. Also, did you fill the reservoir to the correct level? My dad is one of those people who likes to "top it off" on fluids, but all that does is over pressurize the system and blow a seal. Fill to the level marked on the dipstick, which is different for whether the car is running (hot) or turned off (cold).
