I got in my car today and started it. Right away I notice the wheel was VERY stiff. It could barely move. I made a turn and the wheel did not turn back after the turn. I knew this was a power steering issue. I checked my fluid and I have enough. I have 103k miles. Do I have a power steering pump fail? Is it expensive? Also is it dangerous to drive if I am able to drive without it? Thanks!

A pump rund about $600 or so for a new one from a non mini dealer...
Dealer is more. Many threads...kinda common....
