Sounds like your servo is hurt and slightly stripped. There is one way to stop this, Buy a new servo

Your servo might even still be okay. First thing to check is the servo horn. If the teeth on the horn are stripped then its a much less expensive fix than getting a whole new servo.

If it looks as though the teeth are not stripped on the horn then it probably is the internals of the servo itself.

First of all, please use proper grammatic when writing.
I know this is maybe too much to ask, but would be alot easier for others to read.

Now, as for the problem. What did you do after the servo turned and then suddenly it doesn't?
What are the vehicle specs? What kind of electronics do you have?

are any steering links tight? they might be causing the servo to struggle.
