Description of the problem	I have had this problem occur now 4-6 times. While exiting the highway (still going about 45-60mph) onto exit ramp with slight right turn of my wheel there has been sudden decrease in the ability to steer. Almost like it was locked or steering had gone out. It has only happened with r turn off an exit. No problems turning when stopped or going slower. Once the vehicle straightens it will unlock- stays like this for 1-3 sec. First time felt like i was going to hit the person beside me d/t inability to turn. I have spoken with the local dealership and they haven't heard of this problem but made appt to get this checked out.
