At approximately the same time, multiple safety system warning lights and alerts began flashing on the dashboard, including warnings associated with the vehicle's driver assistance and safety systems. The sudden loss of power steering assistance made the steering wheel significantly more difficult to turn and created a dangerous situation while the vehicle was in motion. This…

I tried a quick ignition cycle on the side of the road and the issue persisted so I pulled into a parking lot and did another ignition cycle but I waited a minute or so…

I scanned the vehicle and found diagnostic trouble code C129002 in the EPS/MDPS system, described as a torque sensor signal fault. I also found DTC C168886 in the LKAS system. Both codes were reported as open at…
