Consumer Description

STEERING LOCKS UP WHILE DRIVING AND ATTEMPTING TO TURN THE WHEEL. STEERING LOCKS UP ALSO WHILE STANDING STILL. ELECTRICAL POWER SEEMS TO BE INTERRUPTED FOR A COUPLE SECONDS WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING. HEADLIGHTS DIM AND RADIO QUITS FOR THAT PERIOD OF TIME. THE EVENT ELECTRICALLY SEEMS TO BE INTERRELATED. VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.
