Leaving a friends house my '17 dd with 32k miles stalled out while I was in a turn lane on a busy street just at an intersection leading to the highway. The dash lit up with several likes and the only light I could catch was 'power steering issue car will cut off soon' the car was still in the 'run' position and turning to 'off' or 'ACC' was not engaging. I could not move or push the vehicle as engage the neutral position was not happening.
