Description of the problem | Recently when driving at low speeds & making right or left turns my steering seems to tighten up. At first the was just occasionally but now more frequent. It's almost as it totally locks for a moment or two. I have a couple occasions when turning i had no control, most recently it happened when going around a round about, it locked up wouldn't turn anymore & i ended up going in another lane, slamming on my breaks. I was very close to hitting other cars. |
