 Description of the problemI noticed the steering started getting hard to turn. I took to audi dealer they said it was fine. I said not i know my car. On the highway 2 weeks later entering a curve at high mph the car wouldn't turn. I tapped brakes several times and finally with 2 hands i could turn around curve. Very scary and barely made turn. I proceeded to home but at a turn i started the turn and the steering again stiffened so hard it sent me towards the crosswalk and luckily the brakes stopped me inches from hitting a boy on his bike. I kept hitting brakes and finally the wheel released the tension. I drove home and left it until i got an appointment at audi dealer. I carefully drove it down to dealer and half the drive it was fine and half the drive the car i believe electronically tightened down the wheel so it was extremely difficult to turn. The car is at dealer but they still haven't figured out issue. I looked online for that same model and year and have found several issues exactly described like mine. It occurs in motion when driving and turning. I find this extremely dangerous and am worried to drive until issue found. I believe it is a computer or electrical type issue based upon my experience where it isn't happening all the time but i am not a mechanic. I find this issue really troubling. I could have easily been seriously injured or killed and i am still shaking from how close i came to running over a little boy on his bicycle. With other people saying the same issue and describing it similarly i think this is a problem with this vehicle model.
