Almost sure that year of car will have EPAS ( electric power assisted steering ) It means if the battery is low or the alternator are faulty you lose the power steering . Get both your battery and alternator LOAD tested , simple 5 min test . If not that , EPAS may be on its way out .

Thank you any idea if it is the power steering how much it would cost to replace ?

Usually quite expensive , but may be the battery or alternator which is not as bad .If PAS you might have a Power Steering Specialist garage in your area who would give you a price and be cheaper than dealership .
