First, and foremost, nice job with the site. Looks much better than the last time I had been here.
Anyways, I was hoping that someone might be able to provide some info.
This morning, when driving on the highway, some ninny cuts into my lane, about two cars ahead of me, and slams on the brakes, causing the people in front of me to end up in an accident.
I was able to slam on the brakes, and had stopped about a couple feet from hitting the car in front of me, thankfully. After I had slammed on the brakes, though, the power steering failure warning light came on, and my power steering was gone for the next 20 seconds, or so. I was able to continue driving normally, although with a lot more effort.
After 20 seconds, the light turned off, and power steering was restored. I've since fired up my 2004 3i a couple times today, and drove for a while, and didn't see this recurrance.
Has anyone else had this happen?
On another note, this is where I'm grateful that Mazda gave us 4 wheel disc brakes. Had those been drums in the back, I would have certainly hit the car in front of me.
