URGENT Advice Needed! Relating to Power Steering, Alternator and Electrical. - Toyota Yaris Forums

Drove it about 3 KM to get to the gas station and pulling in I lost my power steering again. I filled it up and started the car and it still was flashing empty after putting 37 L in. It's at the dealer now.

Any ideas as to what it could be? I'd like to sound like I know what I'm talking about, this is the first time taking it anywhere in the city (just moved).

I guess at least I'll get an oil change (have needed one for awhile) and my tires checked out......... hopefully it will be something simple and cheap, but I highly doubt it.

So far I've had to put $700 into this 2007 Yaris (cam positioning sensor, alternator, brakes) over the last year and two months, before this even gets done. My 2000 Cavalier with 280K kms on it though ran fine for a whole year before some moron T boned it. Not too impressed...
