Description of the problem	12/23/2015. 2008 hyundai sonata gls. Steering wheel locked while the vehicle was in motion this evening. I was driving on secondary streets in town at a speed of approximately 30mph when the steering wheel locked and would not turn while negotiating a very slight left hand curve in the road. I braked with intent to attempt to pull over and the steering unlocked and started moving freely again. I had made a 90 degree right hand turn about 1/4 of a mile prior to the steering locking up and had no problem or tightness in the motion. Cause for the incident is unknown. I was not using cruise control, anti-lock brakes were not in use / activated. We did not experience any significant bumps in the road. We reached our destination without further incident and made the return trip also without incident. No police report or insurance claim has been filed yet as of the time of this post.
