Description of the problem	On 8/24/2018 i pulled into a gas station and filled the car up. As i was leaving i heard a grinding noise as i turned the steering wheel. I had never heard any noise from turning before. As i drove home 4. 7 miles there were no turns, but the road does wind a little bit. As i was driving i noticed the steering felt a little "loose" and a little unresponsive. There were no lights or warning so i continued home where i would look at it. Where the road curved i could hear a grinding sound as turned the steering wheel. No sound was heard while driving straight. When i got to my block i made a right hand turn and the grinding noise was very pronounced. When i turned left onto my street the noise was just as pronounced. When in my driveway i turned the wheel while parked and the grinding sound was at the same level. I turned the engine off and turned the steering wheel right and left and the grinding noise was the same as when the engine was running. A couple of days later i read about the possibility of it being a steering assist fault. I started the car and checked for warnings and lights and there were none. I turned the steering wheel and got the same grinding noise. The next day i jacked the car up to visually inspect the steering linkage and cv axle. No play in the cv, nothing visibly broken in the steering. I tried turning the wheel with the car on the jack stands and now the steering wheel would not move at all. I removed the stands and tried again to turn the steering wheel left and right, it would not turn either direction.
