I took my car to the dealership for same reason. They had me leave it overnight to see it froze in the morning. Sure enough it was froze they diagnosed it as a low battery. Apparently they battery was low and in energy safe mode. Steering doesn’t get power in this mode. Replaced the battery and everything has been fine. That was in December....today I have loss of power steering. I see there is a recall and will be taking it to the dealership first thing Monday morning. Good luck
