99' Dodge GCaravan Steering
This morning:
Van started up just fine. No check engine light. No funny sounds.
When I went to back out- the steering wouldn't turn. I was barely able to turn the wheel and pulled right back in and shut the engine off. I drove it last night and nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
Help?
What is this and how much does it cost to fix it?
UPDATE:
A cousin told me hers had done the same and magically came back on. So I went outside and let the car heat up for about 5 minutes. And the steering was fine. Still too nervous to drive it because I have small children and it's icy up this way. Any possible reasons why the steering would go and come back like that? And should I trust it?
