I do not see the steering wheel sign flashing, but I do feel a subtle lock when slowly turning from left to right (or vice-versa) on highways - the lock occurs right before the wheel is straight and then it snaps...

Nobody knows why neither heard other drivers complaining in the dealers in Lisbon, Portugal.

It happened to my car and it was the battery (There are two batteries, so you need to find the right one!).
The power steering is electric motor driven and it seems with sudden turns, the motor doesn't get enough current and thus the steering fails.
