Sudden power steering failure resulting in an unsafe and unusable condition in which the vehicle can be driven. Dash alerts began to go off, and the steering was still usable. Next time the car was started the power steering was no longer operating and several additional dash warning indicators were going off.

Making a left turn in the snow and my power steering locked up and I hit the curb, thr dealer is telling me there's no way this can happen and has never happened before. Won't warranty anything and I'm stuck with a vehicle I believe to be unsafe for my wife and children to ride in.
