I have a 2016 Acura TLX with ~50k miles on it. Recently, it's been behaving quite strangely, typically associated with a brief, but never permanent, flashing of the 'check brakes' light. If [whatever is going on] occurs while I am driving, the wheel will sort of lock (not completely, but becomes noticeably harder to turn) and turning the car off seems to kill it nearly completely. Ie I cannot turn it back on at all. Sometimes this is accompanied by a loud clicking sound when I 1. press down on the brake and/or 2. click the push to start. The key also does not work at this point, meaning I cannot (un)lock the car. Weirdly, if I return to it at some arbitrarily later time, everything will be seemingly working fine. Obviously, I need to take this to a mechanic. But I am curious if there's any obvious cause here.
