| Description of the problem | Last evening, while parking the vehicle on the street in front of a hotel, the steering locked and could not be turned at all. The car was at a 45 degree angle to the curb, about 2 feet from the curb, there were no obstructions. Although moving at very slow speed, i had to brake abruptly and after assesing the situation, put the transmission in park, shut the engine off and restart the vehicle where it immediatley freed up the steering and i was able to park it. This morning the steering seemed fine and i drove it home. Calling the dealer first thing tomorrow (today is sunday). |
