2013 Leaf SV: I drove home, parked the car in the driveway, left the car for 1/2 hour, then got into the car to drive it into the garage. After pushing brake and power, the car came on normally, but the PS warning light stayed on, the car wouldn't go into drive, and the steering wheel was very hard to turn. I could shift into neutral, but not drive. I kept my foot on the brake and hit power again, and it then powered on normally and allowed me to drive.
I repeated this. Car off. Foot hard on brake. Push power. PS light stays on. Steering won't turn easily. Car won't go into drive. Hold foot on brake and push power again, and car powers up normally.
I'm sure that the 12V battery is fully charged. The traction battery was at 6 bars, so had plenty of range remaining.
Can you advise me on what could be wrong? I'm still under warranty, so will take it to the dealer, but want to make sure it's fixed. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
