Lose Power Steering problem #2

My 2006 Saturn ion all of a sudden lost its power steering while I was driving! I almost crashed! and now it going to cost over 500 or more to fix. I could have been killed, I was going up a hill on a curve. Just all of a sudden the bell rang and it popped up pwr str. I got the car stopped and turned it off when I turned it back on it was fine for about 5 feet and again it did it. I got home and checked the fuse and made sure it was ok. Today I drove all over and it was ok and then all of a sudden again it came on and the steering wheel locked up!.
