The first thing to check would be power steering fluid level. If it's low,
you need to add more, but also find out how it disappeared in the first
place. If that's not it, then it's possible your power steering pump is
damaged. This can often happen if you keep the steering wheel at full lock
for more than 10-15 seconds.
Lastly, is this car no longer under warranty? Just take it to the dealer if
it is.
Cheers,
Pete
