| Description of the problem | Within my 2 months of owning owning this 2017 hyundai sonata, my steering wheel has locked up at least 7 times. A few of those times i was on the highway and had to pull off to the side with little to no control of the steering wheel. The power steering and traction control lights came on and i could not regain control until i turned the car off and on again. I was terrified every single time. This last time i nearly lost my life because the steering wheel once again locked up on the highway and vehicles around me had to jam on brakes causing a scary back up on the highway. I |
