I was driving to work, about 10 minutes away, and while exiting off of the highway, my steering wheel locked. It was a cold morning and so far this has happened twice - both with the same setting - driving to work, 30 degree day, exiting off of the highway. The first time I almost went into a ditch - the second time into a car because I couldn't go around a curve. It's momentary, but for the couple of seconds it's locked, it's terrifying. Both times it almost resulted in an accident. It feels like your power steering goes out because of the resistance you feel from trying to turn the wheel. It's going to the dealer ASAP.
