Typical steering symptoms owners report

Power steering suddenly cuts out and displays a "power steering unavailable, service required" message, making the wheel hard or impossible to turn.
Loss of power steering often happens together with other warning lights, including electronic stability control, blind spot monitoring, and lane assist.
Some owners report the steering wheel becoming completely inoperable at low speed, in one case leading to a crash after brakes also failed to respond.
Power steering loss has occurred at highway speeds near 70 mph and at lower speeds around 35 mph, sometimes with the vehicle jerking to one side.
A few owners describe steering problems tied to broader electrical faults, such as malfunctioning radios, turn signals, and lane-management cameras.
One owner reported the steering wheel locking mechanism coming undone while driving.
