Power Steering Light On problems of the 2018 Ford Focus

Drove the car for about an hour, then stopped at a gas station. When the car was started again, the power steering failure warning light came on, and power steering assist was nonoperational. Even after cooling down the engine, the power steering still did not work. Took to a Ford service center, and was told that the rack and pinion system had failed, and it would cost about $2,000 to fix.
