Description of the problem	Drove a short distance and parked car. Started car 10 minutes later and had no power steering. Ps warning light on dash was now on. With a great deal of effort, the car could be driven about a mile back home. When reading thru the owners manual, it became evident there were different possible failure conditions, each represented by different warning light states. A flashing light that went off after a few seconds, a flashing light that stayed on, a flashing light that stays on in conjunction with all dash warning lights being on at the same time, and last but not least, the steady light and complete failure of assist system. I believe it was simply the luck of the draw that our failure occurred in a parked condition. I was raised on a farm driving monstrous old trucks with no power steering. They were tough steering, but this small suv took an extreme amount of effort to turn. Failure in traffic or hazardous conditions could be catastrophic. I do not believe my 82 year old mother could safely control the car, if the failure unexpectedly occurred in many of the driving conditions she experiences in her daily driving. Lane changes, merging traffic, 90 degree turns, pulling out to pass, icy roads, and hydroplane conditions could all quickly become life threatening with this particular failure.
