Is there a problem with the Nissan Versa Power steering?

What to do if you have no power steering?
I drove to the shopping center and when it was time to leave, I started the car, the “PS” warning light came on, and I had no power steering. VERY HARD to turn the wheel. So, half a “Hail Mary” later, I shut off the engine, started it again, and everything was fine.
Where does the power steering apply the most force?
PS is proportional, it adds assist as the car needs it, they don’t need much at greater speeds since the car has enough inertia and weight to help with the issue, the PS applies the greatest force at very low speeds. That is where you will get any jarring, at highway speeds there is little to nothing except mostly in your head.

What to do if your power steering goes bad?
There is virtually no extra effort expended in changing lanes to get off the road unless you do what you don’t need to be doing anyway, or panic whip the car to change several lanes at once. I used to disconnect PS hoses way back in the day to supposedly lower the hp. drag on street race cars back before I knew better.
What kind of car does not have power steering?
Hell, the car I used in drivers ed. all those years ago DID NOT have power steering (80’s Sentra). Loosing power steering on a rack and pinion car really is not the end of the world.
