2006 Lexus GS300 Steering Problems

“This morning, 3/14/2017, while driving to work on a multi-lane city street, without any warning at all, I suddenly lost the power steering. Literally from one second to the next it was gone. Thankfully I was slowing down, moving into a turn lane so I was only moving about 10 MPH. It was extremely difficult to make it to the nearest parking lot.”

“On 3/11/2019 I was driving about 35 MPH when all of a sudden my power steering went out and locked up while driving almost impossible to turn. I had to slam the brakes to not hit a median.
