Description of the problem	The outside temperature is -10f today. I started the car and allowed it to warm up for 10 minutes before driving it approximately 5 miles on an errand. I parked the car and turned it off. When i returned and started the car, the steering light came on and i lost the electronic assist for steering. I was able to drive the car home but it was very difficult and i will be having it towed to the shop. ** a quick internet search shows i'm not the only one having this problem so i thought it important to file this.
