"Have been very well pleased with this vehicle"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The power steering quit working today.

General comments?

Nothing has gone wrong until now. Today I pulled a boat and trailer back to my home today, which is about 90 miles. When I got home I got out of the vehicle to open the gate so I could pull the boat in the back yard. I left it running. I immediately got back in it and pulled it up about 25 feet and all of a sudden the power steering acted as if it had went completely out. It didn't make any noise of any kind and it is full on power steering fluid. The belt is still on and working. What do you think could have happened? No problems at all with it before now.

I just had the same thing happen and it turns out the shaft on the power steering pump had twisted off inside the pump so that the impeller wasn't turning. Had a rebuilt pump installed.
