The power steering stops assisting, but the mechanical steering still works. What should you expect and do?
Correct answer: Steer harder, slow down, and stop to get it repaired
Why
Keep both hands controlling the wheel and apply the extra force needed to maintain direction. Reduce speed carefully, move to a safe stopping place and arrange repair. Do not panic or assume that heavier steering means you have no steering at all.
