(APRIL 2011) LEAVING WORK ONE AFTERNOON, I BEGAN TO DRIVE OFF THE CAMPUS AND AS I BEGAN TO DRIVE THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO TIGHTEN AND AS SOON AS I TRIED TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND WOULD NOT TURN. THAT DAY I ENDED UP IN THE DITCH AND I'M THANKFUL THAT NO ONE WAS HURT. EVERY TIME I PROCEED TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN AND IT'S HOT OUTSIDE, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP CAUSING ME TO GRAB THE WHEEL AS HARD AS I CAN AND MERGE TO THE SHOULDER TO SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTART SO THE STEERING WHEEL BECOMES DRIVABLE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY GAVE AN ESTIMATED COST OF $1500 PLUS DOLLARS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I DID NOT HAVE THE MONEY AND JUST SUFFERED THROUGH THE PROBLEM. PULLING OVER AND RESTARTING THE CAR. WHEN THE WEATHER COOLED OFF IN SEPTEMBER OR SO THE CAR HAD NO PROBLEMS AND DROVE FINE. NOW ITS MARCH 2012 IN MISSISSIPPI AND EXTREMELY HOT AND HUMID AND NOW THE STEERING WHEEL IS LOCKING UP BASICALLY EVERY TIME I GET IN THE CAR. I CAN JUST BE DRIVING AND IT LOCK UP. I CANNOT GAMBLE WITH MY LIFE NOR MY CHILDREN AND I'M FEARFUL THAT THIS CAR IS GOING TO COST US OUR LIVES IF I CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT AROUND. HELP! *KB
