Power Steering Failed Problems of Chevrolet Cruze

When I was driving at 30 mph my wheel locked up and a messages appeared on my dash saying power steering fail. I had no control over my wheel and that happened twice in a 5 minute drive. My wheel now has resistance when turning. The next day when trying to start my car it stalled, when started again a message appeared about the anti theft system being activated- I couldn't drive my car. When I restarted it again another message appeared saying �roll driver window down and back up�. The same night I was driving 5 minutes down the road and everything inside of my car turned off- dashboard, lights, radio, I'm pretty sure my car even turned off for that second and that happened 3 times in the span of a 5 minute drive, all while my wheel is still resisting to turn. On a diagnosis nothing appears to be wrong with my vehicle. This is extremely unsafe and I am very concerned.
