This morning when leaving for work my power steering indicator light came on and my steering wheel was impossible to move. I was unable to even move my car at all, so I had to call out. I don't know how to go about handling an electric power steering issue so any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. (There was no prior indication of this becoming a problem. The car was driving normal then all of a sudden, the light came on and wheel was stiff).

Yep, this is the classic power steering motor failure, but you should check the 60-amp fuse in the "inline" fuse holder near the power steering module. Check out the images (below). Let us know how it goes.
