Description of the problem	About 5 months ago, upon starting my car after being left overnight received an error message of "steering assist fault" and the steering wheel was incredibly difficult to turn. I turned it off and restarted it and the error message was gone and the steering was normal again. This would happen again twice over the next 5 months but it always corrected itself once i restarted the car. Earlier this week the error came on again but wouldn't go away and my steering wheel was difficult to turn. With difficulty i was able to get it to the dealership where after several days i was told the entire steering rack needed to be replaced. This car is less than 5 years old and has just shy of 78,000 miles on it.
