NHTSA Complaint #11610295 — 2016 RAM 1500

While turning left out of the school parking lot, the steering wheel locked and prevented any further steering ability while actively driving at approximately 15 miles per hour. The power steering light on the console flashed immediately prior to the event but stayed on while the truck was in motion and then finally stopped. After leaving the truck at rest and turned off for approximately 15 minutes , we were able to unlock the steering wheel and drive the vehicle home. This issue has occurred no less than 5 times in the past year, although previously the steering locked for just a few seconds.
