| Description of the problem | The car's steering locks up and becomes difficult steer until the driver pulls hard to a direction, the steering almost feels like it's locked and the hard pull breaks it loose. On a few occasions it forces the car to jolt as if you are trying to overcorrect. This happens at freeway speeds. Here is a link of another driver experiencing the same problem. Https://youtu.
