Power steering

Sounds like the drive belt broke. That runs the power steering pump and the generator.

Thank you. is this an easy fix or do I have to take it to the dealership?

Replacing that belt is a common maintenance issue. It is real easy on some cars, and a nightmare on others. My concern is it is not common for them to break. Usually something else happens like an idler pulley develops worn bearings, and that lets that pulley wobble or tilt. Anything that prevents the belt from running true and centered on the pulley will cause it to pop off or become shredded. Examining the belt will tell what type of failure to look for.

Thank you, loved your responsiveness!
