“Car was parked outside in stowe, vt when temp dropped to -13. Able to back out of hotel parking space but noticed steering was stiff. Once onto the street, lost power steering completely! Using all my strength, I could barely steer the car over to the side of the street. Stayed in the car, running with the heat on, for about 15 minutes while we arranged for a tow. When I turned the car off and then on again (my wife's suggestion) the power steering came back! We drove all the way back to ma without a problem. …”
