Power Steering Pump Fail

I havent been on here much lol ive had no time because ive been so busy at work, but just an update, my power steering pump when out

I never drive my baby super hard, and i decided to do a couple donuts the other day and voila! no power steering! dropping it off at the dealer tomorrow to have it fixed.

Its weird because i thought that was only a problem on the 07+ pumps

Get ready to bend over if you don't have warranty. Why don't you bring it over to Burbizank, CA and i'll fix it for you....that is if you don't have extended warranty.

Yep I've seen this in my time on the forum numerous times. Donuts = End of PS pumps. How one even manages to do a donut in a 3400lb sedan with 200hp is beyond me unless it is really wet.
