Description of the problem	Turned onto a fairly narrow street with cars parked on both sides; i was driving down the middle of street until i passed all parked cars; attempted to move back into my lane and steering wheel froze and started jerking; i was headed toward a stop sign pole; i jumped the curb and scrapped right from bumper and tire rim; ignition shut off. Took car to dealer; they kept it for testing and inspection for about 2 weeks and found nothing; we wanted to exchange it but they refused since they did not find anything mechanically wrong with it; we took car back and it has been driving well so far but incident is still in the back of our minds every time we drive it.
