power steering is hard to steer

Hello, yes, the steering gear could be binding internally causing intermittent difficulty turning the wheel. However, keep in mind that the steering system in this vehicle is fully electronic, and has no power steering pump or hydraulic fluid. So, a power steering control module (PSCM) is involved also, as well as other sensors and motors. Hands on diagnostic testing utilizing proper diagnostic equipment and reference materials is needed.
