Had the same issue with Power Steering on my 05 H2, as you described briefly. When in gear at idle it was very hard if not impossible to turn the steering wheel. If you gas it a little raising the RPM's it would turn. I seemed to notice that this happens when the vehicle was hot, driven for a while and in hotter weather.
Anyway I took it into Turnersville Hummer and they said the power steering pump was bad. They replaced it and it worked fine. That was over a year ago. I have noticed that once again this problem has occurred intermittently. Tomorrow it goes in again to be checked out. Although I have no brake issues I will tell you that the power steering pump is also the booster pump for the brakes. So if you are having both issues take it back and tell them to check the pump when it gets hot.
It might solve both your issues. Good luck and I'll let you know what they find for me.

It's staying overnight again.... another emmissions issue.... they said it will be covered under warranty....
Rental is a Chevy Malibu....
The power steering issue is slightly better just because they jacked up the pressure in the tires thinking I'm far too stupid to realize that....

So.... looking over the notes.... I see that the first part that cost me was due to code P0446.....
Now.... the light came back on within 100 miles (10 starts) and when it just went back they found code.... you guessed it.... P0446 again.
What am I missing here?? Was I screwed on the first diagnosis.... or did they do me a favor by covering the second thing??
The first repair was a vent solenoid..... the second repair was R&R the evap canister.....
