power steering failure
we had some heavy rain here in NY last night so I figured that the squealing that I heard at startup was the result of a wet belt. Well, I let the car idle for 2 minutes or so and the sound got a bit worse. I tried to back it out of my driveway when I realized that there was no power steering. Roadside picked it up (after 2.5 hours of waiting) and it is at the dealer. I will let you know when they figure it out.
