I have a 2007 Chevy Impala. It is used as a police car for my local county. Since getting the car in may of 2007, the steering wheel has locked 4 times while turning a corner. The car has electric power steering vs. Hydraulic like most cars. The most recent incident, I nearly struck another vehicle due to not being able to steer. The wheel locks anywhere from 2-4 seconds, then it finally releases. I called the dealership, and they stated they have received several other complaints similar to this on some of Chevy's other models with electric steering. I have an appointment this week to get the problem looked at. However I feel this is a very serious problem and safety issue due to the fact of not being able to steer, and apparently it is not an isolated incident.
