Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)THE STEERING WHEEL GETS STIFF, LOCKS EVENTUALLY AND THE CAR GOES DEAD WITHIN COUPLE OF MINUTES WHILE DRIVING. UPON 1ST DIAGNOSIS DEALER REPORTED THAT IT WAS DUE TO BAD BATTERY AND THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY. BUT THE SAME PROBLEM HAS REPEATED 3 TIMES NOW WITHIN A SPAN OF 2 MONTHS. DEALER IS NOT ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM WHEREAS THE SAME ISSUE OCCURS EVERY TIME. THIS IS LIFE THREATENING AS THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF A STREET AND MAJOR CROSS JUNCTIONS.
