Got the "Steering Malfunction" last Friday. It went away after I restarted the car. I got the same "Steering Malfunction" again today. Is it time to take it to the dealer ? My car is still under warranty, till 10/08.

Yup. Topping off the steering fluid will get rid of the error message.

I had the same problem before, I took it back to dealer few times and eventually found out leaks. Fix it before the warranty is over!!

Oh yeah, that could also be possible too.

Had the same thing happen, dealer topped off the steering fluid, message never came back.

If it is still under warranty - take it in (like the posts above suggest)
