Disagree with calling it clear and precise. I'm converted as far as believing this was more than P/S loss but I still have specific questions for OP.

1. When the failure occurred, did the servo try to pull hard in either direction?

2. If no, did it resist attempts to steer by pulling back to center?

In either of these cases it would indicate a failure of the control system.

I asked earlier for you to try finding a safe place to coast with the engine off. Now that I think about it. I have no idea how one would do that with the pushbutton system. Is it possible?

3. If it can be done, again, how does it compare to the failure you experienced?

4. Sitting in your driveway with the engine off, how does the resistance to turn the wheels compare to when you pulled over?
