Interestingly, the power steering will revert back to normal for short periods of time lately. For the longest time it was exactly the opposite pattern: it was normal 98% of the time and then just made it difficult now and then maybe once or twice per month. I have no idea why it will all of a sudden work or why it will all of a sudden not work.

I did bring it to the local car mechanic who opened everything up in that area and tested and thought it was the pump.

The problem began in April 2019 when I had somehow let the power steering fluid get to a low ebb. My thought is that maybe some air or sediment got in the hydraulic pathway.

I'm at my wits end. The thing is vastly expensive. $2000 for the part alone at the dealer. I found one online OEM for $1300 or so. I found the 2010 model from a junk car for only $400 but I don't want to try it. The SKU = 574103M200

Anyone know if that would have worked?

I got really lucky here. I found used part for "only" $500 and I was doubly lucky insofar as my vin number implies that my car is a 2010 so the part I found was compatible.

My regular mechanic wouldn't put in the used part, but yourmechanic.com did and so instead of $2700 for the job I'm down around $700 total.

It's working perfectly now! So happy.

I am about to buy a used pump due to cost and replace my self. you can get a new one off e-bay for only 1k vs 2.2k
