Description of the problem | Was driving on the freeway exiting the offramp that curves to the right. When i turned the steering wheel it locked up and the stereo turned off. I had no control over the direction my vehicle was traveling. I applied my brake, to keep from hitting another vehicle. When i pressed my brake the steering wheel unlocked briefly then locked again. Then a yellow ⚠️ warning light illuminated and my car began to pull to the right. The stereo powered on and the steering wheel returned to normal. The yellow warning ⚠️ light turned off.
