Description of the problem	I was on my way back home from chicago to ohio. About an hour into the trip my steering started getting stiff and hard to control. I had to hold on with both hand tightly. It felt like the steering was locking up. Like a click. If i moved it ever so slightly it stuck and i had to move it back quickly. What should have taken 6 1/2 hours took me 10 1/2. My young son and i were scared. It was sunday and i was in another state. Nothing open and on a toll road. It still gets hard to steer but my dealership said there is nothing wrong. Someone please help. I travel back and forth from ohio to chicago a lot.
