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

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?

1: When the problem occurred, the steering just stiff but not pulling either left or right.
2. No, it does not resist to pull it back to the center. It was just extremely hard to turn and only went inch by inch when I tried to steer it. It feels as hard and resisting as if you have your car park in the garage with the engine off.
3. It happened twice in that one drive but after I rest it overnight, it does not happen again.
