No power in the steering
It was a common fault on the earlier year cars with the electric power steering system and if you are having the same issue then GM UK still have not fixed the issues in later models. 2011 is not an old car and a vehicle of that age with a typical hydraulic power steering system would not be failing. You will probably find one or more critical sensors in the electric PS system you have has failed and in that event the whole power steering system has shut down. Once the electric motor that provides the steering assistance is shut down you have no power assistance whatsoever.

Whenever
this warning light or any other stays on in the dash it is indicating
that the systems control module (or the system sensor in the case of
lights like low oil pressure, door open indicators etc.) has detected
a fault, it then disables the system (this applies to ABS,TCS, TCM,
SRS and BCM faults and others) as long as the light is on. You must
now have the dealer hook up a special electronic diagnostic tool and
"scan" the system for the fault code that is stored for the
problem(s)
