| Description of the problem | On 01/16/2020 as i was leaving work parking lot my steering seized up. The power steering light and traction control lights came on. It took about 1 minute to get steering wheel to move at all, managed to get back in parking lot (barely) and shut car off and restarted it. My power steering was back and indicator light were gone. I'm going to dealership tomorrow. ( will update) had this happened at a normal speed for diving, it would have been very dangerous! Now, i am afraid to drive my only car. |
