Description of the problem	The steering wheel locked up while the vehicle was in motion at approximately 45 mph. I was driving on a back country road and slightly turned the wheel to follow the curve in the road when the wheel locked up. Fortunately, i was sharing the road with just a few other drivers, it was a slight bend in the road, and i was able to use the breaks. After i came to a complete stop, i had to utilize great force to turn the locked steering wheel. It seemed like that maybe loosened it up some but not quite all the way??? Then, i turned the vehicle off for a few minutes, restarted it, and then it seemed to be ok. After being inspected by a mechanic, i was told that they could not find anything that would have caused an issue for this to have happen. They said that further disassembling could possibly locate a problem. This is extremely concerning and hazardous! I'm not sure if others have had this issue as well but it should absolutely be looked into!
