Upon backing out of a parking space I felt a hard jolt and the truck shut off. I inspected the engine and could not find any leaks or anything out of the ordinary. I then restarted the engine with no problem. When I tried to turn the staeering wheel, I found it very hard to turn. I looked under the hood again and noticed the power steering pump wheel had a little shimmy to it and no leaks. I took the truck to the dealership. I was told at the dealership that these pumps go out anywhere from 10K miles and up. Unsat.
1st service at 3000 mileage-A/C leaked twice; later - alignment at the back (bed) area was croocked due to shocks; built-in floor mats almost caused an accident when the gas pedal became stuck to the the floor mat while driving; lastly, power steering wheel locked itself while driving on the road and was unable to manuever/control the pick-up's steering wheels; joeten representatives concluded that power steering pump failed/broke.
Power steering unit is failing to operate properly. Vehicle has been in the dealer shop on four occasions, and has two pumps replaced and the unit still gives off a hissing noise when vehicle is on. Dealer informed consumer that it was normal for the pump to run like that.
