| Description of the problem | I have had this car for 4 months and this incident has happened twice in 2 months. I get in the car and put my key in turn it over & the steering wheel locks up and i have to keep working with it to get it unlocked. Both times it happened it has been annoying to fight with it. My car was under my carport and wheels & steering in straight ahead mode. I feel there is something causing this problem. Also, i have had my a/c to freeze up on a 3hr. Trip. My husband checked it and there is no leak and is showing normal. So what caused this problem... Very concerned about these issues.... |
