Do you have a manual tranny? Is your engine stalling because you forgot to hit the clutch? Obviously stalled engine = no power steering.

If you step on the brakes, it makes turning harder, because the power steering has to over come the resistance of the brakes.

The controls have all kinds of inputs. Could be it lowers power with certain conditions.
My 07 is supposed to turn off if overloaded for too long of a time. Then reset after a short time out.

Hmm could try tightening your battery terminal connections - because as many have said, power steering is electrical. :S
