Consumer Description

Several near-accidents yesterday and today. Steering wheel randomly locks up when driving. This is an extremely dangerous situation for my wife and 4 children riding in the van. You have to physically force the steering wheel back over, which can easily result in over correction which could also cause a crash. No warning lights on at the time, and has happened 4 times yesterday and once today already. How is this not a recall?!
