Default 09 Charger - Randomly loses power steering

Having an intermittent issue with my daughter's SXT. She was pulling into a parking spot, and suddenly lost power steering. She went to kill the car, and after the turning the key to Off, the car was still running. After cycling the key a couple of times, it finally died. Once she restarted, everything has been fine, and it will not reproduce the problem. I don't want her driving it again until I determine what caused the loss of power steering, but it sure makes it hard to fix when it's not happening!

Any assistance or input would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!

Is there a belt driven pump on that one, or is it electric?
