| Description of the problem | Whenever enroute the car battery or whatever the issue may be electically would completely shut off locking the steering wheel, rendering the vehicle dead. Even with turning off the car and starting it, the process takes three to four tries. Itll happen randomly sometimes at light intersections, making turns, even on the highway. Its been happening for the past 4 months even after oil change and two battery exchanges. Today it happened again, twice, once going through a light dying in the middle of the intersection, and the second was passing on the overpass. There hasnt been any accidents or injuries yet but there has been a vast amount of close calls. |
