While driving at 30 mph the car lost power steering. I was able to pull to the side of the road. The car was towed to a repair shop, where they found that the three bolts holding the power steering pump broke off in the engine block. They replaced the bolts at a cost of $275. I had just completed a 1200 mile trip.
