I am having the same problem as some others I"ve seen on here. My power steering goes out every time I drive my car. If I turn it off and then back on, it resets itself briefly, but always goes out again.

Hello,

This vehicle is equipped with electric power steering motor.
It sounds like you have a faulty motor. When these motor starts to go bad they will have similar intermittent issues as you are having.
Replacing the power steering motor can be done using simple hand tools.
