1 Power Steering Light On problem

Failure Date: 07/14/2022

Several times in the last month, while driving at various speeds, the power steering light and the stabilitrak light come on and I loose power steering. Twice this has happened at higher speeds and on a curve, making it very difficult to control the truck. I drove to dealer, but they indicated no codes were present for the check engien light. I explained it was not check engine rather the other two mentioned above. I have had this happen 6 times now, and the quick cure is to shut the truck off and restart. This resets the electronics and the truck is fine until the next time. Lates occurance was 8/23/22.
