The power steering on my 2015 GMC Canyon has failed repeatedly while driving in different road conditions. In one case, I was going straight on a surface street at low speed. However, in another I was cornering through a highway off-ramp at approximately 45 mph.

It becomes extremely challenging to steer, and in the case of cornering at speed the vehicle pulls in the opposite direction of the turn [ie, it pulls towards danger]. Pulling over and restarting the vehicle has 'solved' the problem each time, albeit temporarily. I took the vehicle to a gm dealer to get fixed, but they could not find any related mechanical issues or gm provided sw patches that would fix the problem.
