- Steering wheel locks up while driving, with a dash message reading "dynamic steering wheel service required," and only resets after stopping and restarting the vehicle.
- Owners report a "power steering system hot, performance may be limited" warning that removes steering control until the system cools down, sometimes happening repeatedly on the highway.
- Power steering assist drops out briefly during unrelated engine warnings, such as false coolant temperature alarms or sudden shutdowns, then returns after a few seconds.
- Some owners describe a steering and ESC system warning appearing at startup along with the steering wheel auto-correcting on its own.
