Upon driving the vehicle, service power steering would randomly flash on the dic multiple times throughout the journey (while slowing down, at a stop and accelerating). Loss of power steering has yet to happen, but seems very imminent. Upon vin check, the vehicle is not a part of the recall and this seems to be an error.

Steering
Steering assist unstable. When suddenly turning the wheel, the tension in the wheel jumps - making it possible to turn sharper than expected. Problem seems to be internment - something stopping after driving a while. Noticed issue while driving at low speeds in the city and while stationary. May happen at higher speeds but don't turn at high speeds. May happen if trying to avoid an accident.

The wheel locks randomly not allowing me to remove my key from the ignition. It happens all the time- sometimes i wait like 5 minutes until it releases on its on but others i wait over 30 minutes and it won't release my key. I can't sit in my car in the middle of the night waiting for my car to release the key.
