Consumer Description

THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED AT LEAST 4 TIMES IN A 2 WEEK PERIOD. WHILE DRIVING ON SERVICE STREETS A PINGING NOISES GOES OFF..THE BATTERY LIGHT A LIGHTENING BOLT AND SHIFT INTO DRIVE APPEARS AND LASTS A FEW SECONDS. THE STEERING WHEEL GETS VERY HEAVY AND HARD TO TURN. THE VEHICLE TURNS OFF! THE RADIO CONTINUES TO PLAY. I CANNOT SHIFT INTO PARK. WHEN I TRY TO TURN THE IGNITION IT MAKES A SCREECHING NOISE..AFTER THE SECOND ATTEMPT IT USUALLY WILL RESTART. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I AM AFRAID TO GET BEHIND THE WHEEL OF MY CAR!
