No Steering 2003 Caravan
Anyone encountered sudden "No Steering" in a 2003 Caravan? Driving normal, go to make a turn, and it won't. Had Dealer pull the steering wheel and check igntion lock. It's fine. When stopped, turning can cause a shudder. To corrrect problem, must pull over to side of road, stop and shut van off. Restart and it works normally. Suspect rack, but have heard rumours about p/s pump on this model. This van is very dangerous. Any thoughts? Thanks.

No, I haven't tried a "flush", but thanks for the suggestion. At this juncture considering the safety aspects, I don't want a quick fix or repair when it comes to steering. I just want to diagnose the problem, and replace the component that is failing. It's not worth the risk. I assume the spool valve in the rack is screwed, and will most likely re and re the rack.
