The belt that drives the alt and p/s is loose. If it is a serpentine belt, check the tensioner or replace the belt.
Clean them and see.
i wish there was an answer here. this just has happened to me on my 2001 dodge neon. while i was driving the battery light flicked on and at the same time my power steering locked making it difficult to turn... i dont know what to do im still researching for answers.
Did you check the drive belt to see if it broke?
Steering fluid leak.
A car's steering wheel will vibrate when driving if the car's alignment needs to be adjusted.
If the steering wheel is loose while driving the steering rack may be going bad. A bad steering rack leads to a lot of play on the actual wheel.
A steering wheel that is padded with leather for comforment when driving
I had a 1999 Grand AM same thing happened to me. A while after that i was driving and the radio lost power, then the power steering. I had the alternator and battey replaced and that fixed the problem.
No. Steering is just one element of driving, but there are a lot more, such as controlling the speed and being vigilant as you drive.
Because its used for primarily turns and it requires power, so on long straight aways it cuts off to save battery life.

water will splash on the belts [power steering, alternator, etc.], causing them to slip, as if greasy, not turning the pulleys. get new belts.
