| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | I was driving and as i was making a turn, the steering wheel seized. As i was trying to turn out of the turn, the wheel unseized and turned the way i was trying to turn it, but then went slack which caused the car to start drifting to the right even though i was trying to straighten out. Then i felt the steering catch and i was able to control the car as normal. I have an appointment with the dealer next week so they can check it out. This should really be a recall. It is very dangerous. |
