Description of the problem	The steering wheel locks up while driving. This especially happens in cold weather. The steering wheel is either difficult to turn / slow to respond to turning, or, on one occasion (feb 7, 2021), it locked up completely while driving on the highway. I was trying to follow a curve in the road and the vehicle did not respond. I had to stop the car to get the wheel to unlock. This issue has been going on for the last month, and culminated in the very alarming episode on feb 7. After googling this issue, i'm aware that it is a very common problem in jeep wranglers (like mine) purchased in late 2017 through early 2018. I purchased my jeep in feb, 2018. I've notified chrysler and my dealership. My dealership informs me that it is likely the gearbox, but they are on a 3 week back order. I'm afraid to drive my vehicle, but am taking it to my dealership tomorrow (feb 9) to be diagnosed, and hope to arrive there safely.
