| Description of the problem | Driving down interstate going around an onramp and the steering wheel locks up , traction control light comes on and another light comes on and feels like there is no power steering. I pull over to the side of the road. I turn off the vehicle for a few minutes and turn back on while calling the dealership and it resets the lights and codes. I have had this happen since i have bought this in 2017. The last 2 times have been 1 month apart. This will happen while driving and it is a safety issue while driving straight and while turning. |
