Description of the problem	The steering just stopped working, didn't lock, but it took raw muscle to turn the vehicle to avoid hitting a tree. No indication of anything that was wrong prior loss of steering. My wife was on a winding road and slowed down to make a right turn (the previous turn on the road was a left) and the wheel started to, for lack of a better term, buck back and forth. She had just enough time to stop before the next turn in the road. No crash and no injury, but it could have been a lot worse. Right now the car is at the dealership to be fixed.
