Power steering loss. While driving the electronic power steering quit, and I received warnings that the power steering was not working. I also got errors on the advance headlights not working and that the all wheel drive was disable. Drove home with no power steering and checked the power fuses with a volt meter. No failures found. Restarted the car and there was no more problems. The online diagnostic indicated no failures recorded.

When the car is in auto engine shut off mode, when the brake is released the steering power assist message displays, the steering wheel locks up, the doors unlock and the interior and exterior lights flash. The car will start back up but it takes a second to start. The car is also starting to not start back up and completely shut off at the light. All of the lights will start flashing. This is highly dangerous as the steering wheel lock almost caused my family to get into a major car accident. The car will be taken to a dealership later this week.

On at least 5 different occasions the dash board lights and infotainment system have went completely black this is at varying speeds from 25 miles to 60 miles and even sitting at a stop light this has happened. When it does happen its only for couple seconds. This has also happen twice while my teenage son was driving and scared him quite a bit. Most recently while at a stop light I let my foot of the brake and push gas I get a message saying park brake released the doors unlock then lock. I try to move the steering wheel but its hard like it's locked I then get message saying power steering has been reduced drive carefully. Then a following message saying all wheel drive has been turned off. This has happened about 7 or 8 times randomly after coming to a stop for a red light in which light turns green I try to proceed than all this messages and wheel tightens and car feels like it stalls for a second.
