I think I'm having a power steering problem!
Parked my car here in Central New York the other night around midnight and the car was fine. Got in it and drove about 7 hours later and now im having problems steering. its VERY difficult to turn the wheel (i literally have to pull the wheel using both hands, pputting all my weight into it. Takes me about 5 minutes to just pull out of a parking space now becuase of the lack of rotating the wheel will make (and lack of strength on my part). Anyone know what the problem might be? Its been down to single digit temps here recently. Maybe that would have a problem? I added some power steering fluid yesterday, but today I'm still having the same problem. Brother said it might be a bad power steering pump? Anyone know if a bad one would cause the results Im having? I have no clue about cars, so maybe I'm describing a common problem. Thanks for any help you can provide!
Also, thers just under 20000 miles on my PT. If I just brought it into a Chrysler dealer, can they tell me if this problem is covered under my warranty?
