| Description of the problem | While driving the steering wheel locks and can not be turned. This has happened a dozen times and each time we were only narrowly able to avoid an accident. This has happened while driving in a parking garage, one side roads, main roads and on the highway. I believe this has something to do with the lane departure sensor. The car has approximately 14k miles on it and it has been returned to the dealer for repair 5 times. The dealer has been unable to resolve the issue. There are pages of error codes that have been generated but none have been helpful in resolving the issue. The vehicle is unsafe to drive. |
