Description of the problem	I was driving home in a residential neighborhood. My power steering unexpectedly cut out and the check engine, power steering and traction control light came on simultaneously. Because i could not control the car with the unexpected loss of power steering i drove off the road until i could brake. The vehicle was in motion as this occurred and going forward at a low rate of speed. The error appears to be around the electronic steering assist system. Brought to garage next morning via tow truck. Car was behaving normally. All warning lights off and steering functional. Shop checked grounds, power and a wiring harness and could not find the cause for the steering to cut out like it did as they could not replicate the issue. There were multiple error codes in the system regarding loss of communication with the electronic steering assist module. Due to the random nature of this incident and the inconclusive diagnostics i am very concerned that this can and will happen again and could cause a much more severe accident if i'm going highway speeds when the steering cuts out or driving in winter weather.
