Lost mine with no warning. It didn't seize though. It just fell off. Was just pulling off the expressway and heard a load bang behind me. Didn't know what it was until I tried to make the turn onto the road and realized I had no power steering. Then I realized that the belt must have snapped.
After nursing it home, I checked out the belt and it was in one piece and had no mark on it. Took me a few minutes to figure out I was missing the pulley.
Side note: I found every piece of the pulley, but opted to get a new one anyway along with a new belt.
