While driving on the highway, I pulled onto an exit ramp going approximately 45 mph entering the second turn of the exit ramp, the power steering failed, inhibiting the car steering dramatically. Was lucky not to loose total control of the vehicle.
Was backing vehicle up and noticed a belt in driveway. Stopped vehicle and picked belt up. Once in vehicle, was not able to steer. Vehicle towed to dealer, and was informed by mechanic that steering belt had become dislodged and fell off.
