Sometimes when cold the steering will become stiff.Another thing could be air in system. Clear air by turning steering wheel stop to stop until loose. Hope this helps!

First I'd check your power steering fluid. However it's common for the rack and pinion to go bad as the vehicle ages, other than that it could also be you're power steering pump. You will have to have a mechanic take a look at it to be sure.

Kia Sedona hard to turn (2006)
Hi
If your system has leaked fluid out when you've topped it back up it could have caused an airlock in the system this can usually be rectified by turning the steering wheel from lock to lock several times whilst the vehicle is stationary this usually pushes the air out but keep checking the fluid bottle as the level will drop whilst its getting rid of any air !
Hope this helps Nick

Brake and turn lamps work sometimes
I would try a new turn switch. The brake lights are routed through the turn switch, so if both are acting up, it could be the turn switch is bad.

Sometimes shifting lever moves hard and you can't get the key out.
You should try make certain that everytime you park the van center the steering wheel. If it is difficult to get the key out or turn turn the wheel just a little. Not sure why but my 1993 has always been this way as well as my daughter's 1990 and the 1989 she used to have. I make sure to center wheel when I park.

94 Caravan pulls HARD to left when stepping on gas
IT IS VERY POSSIBLE THAT THE BALL JOINTS ARE VERY WORN WITH THE MILES YOU HAVE ON THE VAN.. THE REASON IT DRIVES STRIGHT WHEN YOU TURN RIGHT A FEW TIMES IS THAT IT LINES THE BALL JOINTS BACK UP, SOUNDS LIKE THE BALL JOINTS HAVE A LOT OF PLAY IN THEM, VERY,VERY DANGOUS.. KEITH..
