Steering problem #1

While driving towards our friends place, an alert came up saying "steering assist reduced" with error code gtw_w075. The car was running at about 60 to 65 mph and at that speed l, we didn't notice much issue in handling the car. When we were leaving for home, the alert was still active and at that time, we realized that the steering was extremely difficult to use. Herculean effort was required to turn the car left or right and we decided it was unsafe to drive. I then researched this alert and lots of other drivers had observed this error on their 2023 or older model 3 or yes. Mine is 2025 and not even 20 days old since I took delivery. The car had to be towed to the nearest service center.
