Sounds like your electric steering motor is cutting out this could be down to an alternator fault ,best getting codes checked and take it from there

have codes read as could be as simple as a speed sensor electric steering needs a speed input and will switch off without

had this problem with a corsa and found the battery was at fault due to not holding a full charge changed it and was fine after.
