Had a similar issue with my Stability control and active steering malfunction that only happen while in stop in go traffic witch caused my steering to go from sporty to school bus turning car off and on will clear this malfunction but it got worst to the point that restarting car will not clear this fault. The damage was a sensor around or near the the steering column damaged from bottoming out on a speed bump at my friends complex, total damage was $3,500 for part covered by warranty. Don't bottom out!!!
