When I am drive, I will get a message on the dash that reads " service... power steering, drive with care" and another saying, " service... stabilitrack" once I receive the message I will lose power in my steering wheel and it'll get extremely hard. Completely not safe and vehicles of the same make and model, but different year are all having the same problem.
