message light on dash always says "power steering" in the warning section every time you start it. but now , it is not uncommon to be going down the road and the power steering completely shuts off. heard of other people that have had the problem. only solution i have heard so far is if the dealer replaces the entire steering column which costs 2k or more

Probable causes here could be the power steering control module or the torque and position sensor in the steering column assembly
