It's super frustrating because there are no codes, no errors, and I can't duplicate it, yet it is potentially very unsafe when on the highway or an onramp and power steering suddenly cuts out.

My i3 was in service previously for almost a month. It's been in service now for the second time for about a week. That will be 30+ days it's been in the shop and it doesn't have that many miles on it. My previous i3, however, didn't have any issues!
They should be able to make a Case and get a repair approved.
