Description of the problem	I bought the car used in april 2019, it only has 25,000 miles. I was driving with my toddler when all of the sudden i could not steer the vehicle easily and warning lights started going off after i lost power steering. The lights were power assist fault and something about advancetrack system in which i noticed that my four wheel drive capability was not working. I was on a city street so i was able to pull into a parking lot. Once i let it sit for a few minutes and started up, everything was alright. This was the 2nd time this has happened the first time, i was just exiting off the highway when i lost power steering and warning came on but it only occurred for a minute and everything was back to normal. This is a safety risk and i am afraid to drive it long distance. Other than this i love this vehicle!
