Description of the problem	While making a right turn (wide right, not sharp right) the engine "stalled" and all steering capability was lost. The car attempted to "straighten out". It took a great deal of strength to keep the wheel from turning back to center. And i was not able to turn the wheel further to the right. Fortunately no traffic at that location so i was able to "guide" (not steer) the car to the side of the road. I put "stalled" in quotes because this was more like a "lockup" than a stall. The engine abruptly stopped. All electrical systems were still on. No warning lights on dashboard. Radio continued playing. Heater fan was still running. Power brakes were still functioning. Fyi: this is the regular hemi engine. Re-starting the car was odd too. It didn't "crank". Upon pressing the start button, the engine "snapped on" - like those newer stop/start engines when at a red light. The next hour of driving was normal. *js
