I was pulling into a parking spot at work when it felt like I lost power steering. I was able to force the car to turn to avoid hitting another vehicle. However, because the parking lot was almost empty, I did try driving to see if it was actually loss of power steering. Every time I turned to the left, I heard a clicking noise, but it didn't feel like the power steering was gone anymore. Right after work I drove the car to the garage I deal with. While driving I noticed that the turn signal would not disengage.
