So I have a
1996
Chrysler Concorde
3.5 L
with 300,000K

Recently I noticed that the steering wheel seemed to have some 'lag' to it. Meaning that whenever I turned the wheel, it took longer than it seemed it should to feel a response in the tires. Last night I was turning around in my street, and ran over a large piece of snow. Once I tried to drive forward, I was stopped because my left tire was turned all the way to the right. I tried moving the steering wheel back and forth and got no response from the tire.

What has happened to my steering column/wheel arm?! How much do you think a damage like this will cost to repair?

Yes, you should have been having that checked long before this. You're very lucky it didn't happen on the highway where it could have ended real bad. Get it towed to the shop ASAP.
