2009 Vue XR - I need to keep engine running sometimes to heat or cool wife when I take her to Dr. or just for a ride where I must leave her in car , running, for sometimes a long time. When I start to leave and for a few miles my steering is somewhat similar to my Model A Ford. Or maybe a dump truck without power.

 

Stupid question, I'm sure, but I'm just the guy to ask it. Have you physically checked your power steering fluid level?
