When turning at low speeds the steering intermittently becomes stiff and requires increased force to maneuver the rest of the turn. Vehicle was taken to dealership on 2 occasions, both of which the service department was unable to duplicate the problem and therefore unable to fix.

I was driving home on a 4 lane road with a center turn lane in the right hand lane when the car in front of me suddenly stopped. I hit the brakes and swerved into the left hand lane to avoid an accident. I was traveling aprox. 25 to 30 mph. The power steering went out, the steering wheel locked and the car was crossing through the turn lane heading for oncoming traffic. I jerked the wheel hard to the right and the power steering came back at the last possible moment narrowly avoiding a head on collision.
