Description of the problem	On 3/22/2012 within a few hundred feet of leaving a driveway, the right wheel slowly seized (within 100 feet), abs and esc warnings appeared and the car became immobilized. The car was flat-bedded to the dealer for repair. The right steering knuckle and related wheel/parts were replaced. On 6/23/2012 at about 25 mph, the abs, esc warnings showed, the car pulled to the right on braking. The car was pulled over and parked, and again flat-bedded to the dealer.
