While driving the car the car looses the ability to steer and drops into neutral. The dealership swears that they can't duplicate the problem. I took it in for the n23 recall today and as i was driving into the dealership it happened again - yet they still couldn't duplicate the problem. Now i'm worried that my 4wd won't work

We were driving at approx 55 mph (not braking or turning) when suddenly the vehicle lost all acceleration, the gas and mph as well as directional and temperature gauges went dark/dropped to zero, then the car lost power steering. We were able to pull off the side of the road, place the car into park, removed the key, and then returned the key and restarted the car. The car then started normally. *tr

The mechanic back in 2012 said there was a problem with the power steering line leaking due to pressure and needed to replace it.
