Consumer Description

I had just left my sons school and was on my way to pick up my daughter. In the middle of making a left turn into oncoming traffic, my steering wheel locked on me making it hard to complete the turn. Cars were approaching from both directions and honking at me to get out the way. I looked at the dash and noticed a message saying service advance trac. Then another came on saying no bill start assist. Then the traction lights came on. I was able to safely move out the way. I had 2 mechanics look at it. One said it was the steering rack and another said the electronic steering wasn’t communicating with the cars computer system. The one that said the communication was off plugged the car into some type of gadget and the car was working fine for a month or so. Then it happened again. I need my car but I am also afraid to drive it because of this.
