| Description of the problem | While driving just after i exited the freeway, was pulling into a parking lot to go have lunch, the engine died, and the steering locked up, was unable to steer. I went in ate lunch drove it home on surface streets without a problem. It is a hybrid, i have taken it to the dealership, and they're telling me it is $13,000 to fix, but i'm more concerned that the car again could just lock up, and not steer. |
