Consumer Description

THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 10 DIFFERENT TIMES WITHIN A MONTH. FIRST TIME I WAS PARKED AND WHEN I WENT TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE, I TRIED TO TURN STEERING WHEEL AND IT SEEMED TO LOCK UP AND ALL THE LIGHTS STARTED TO FLICKER. AFTER ABOUT A SECOND IT ALLOWED ME TO USE STEERING WHEEL. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN AT A VERY SLOW SPEED. WHEN I DRIVE THROUGH AT RESTARAUNTS, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP. THE RADIO WILL QUIT PLAYING. IF I TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTART IT THE RADIO WILL WORK ONCE AGAIN. WHEN THE VEHICLE DOES THIS, NONE OF THE TURNING SIGNALS WORK.
