Steering problem

I've got this steering problem with my 04 civic SI (aka EX in the U.S). Sometimes when I turn in parking lots, especially after I slowed down, the steering wheel will kind of "lock up", it's like suddenly driving with no power steering for about 2-3 seconds. Just wondering if anyone else has the same problem and their solution to fix it.

Yeah, you are special.

Check the powersteering fluid level. If it's ok, it may be the pump. There have been a few bad one's so far.

Just had that problem fixed under warranty last week.
My dealer changed the power steering pump.
It's a known problem on this model.
