I had aaa tow it to my mechanic. Failed two codes C0460 and C0545 for the steering torque input sensor and the steering wheel sensor. The problem is intermittent and can freeze up any time while driving. Most likely need a new steering column. Estimate to fix around $700.
Following day drove car to dealer and paid 438. 69 to make the necessary repairs which consisted of replacing the steering module code C0460, replaced the steering position/ torque sensor.
