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. I continued to travel another 1. 5-2 miles more to my home and it happened again. This time a green dash light illuminated and said service power steering. I parked my car at that point.
