Your car has an electric pump for the steering. You have to find out why you are losing power. Check the battery terminals for corrosion and tightness before having a mechanic look it over.

Thanks. I cleaned the heads to the battery post, but now the engine shakes and the car seems to wana die.

Did you ever figure it out? It happened to mine today. I tested the battery and it only carried 2V, which is one that I replaced only 7 months ago. Bringing the battery back to dealership tomorrow...
