Experiencing an intermittent failure of the Electronic Power Steering. It has never failed while running, but only when the engine is turned off and restarted. It first appeared after turning off the engine following a moderately deep water crossing, at moderate speed. I am not actually sure the water shorted something out, but that is at least a distinct possibility. Unfortunately, it happened near the beginning of a 100+ mile ride in steep mountainous terrain with a fair number of technical rock sections. Believe me, you don't want to go rock crawling without EPS!
Anybody else had this issue? The water thing is suspicious, but even after plenty of time to dry out, it happened again several times. It still has a couple months left on warranty, so thinking of taking it to the dealer to see if it threw a code. Because it is intermittent, that tells me that the unit itself is still good, and the problem is probably an electronic one somewhere.
