My son was practicing parallel parking. And car's steering wheel became stiff and hard to turn. I was able to make wheel straight and drove around slowly, mostly straight line, and steering wheel became normal, able to tune it without forcing it hard. It was scary.

The car looses its steering control. When stationary (and driving), if i take my hands off the steering, it automatically steers all the way to the left. It sometimes resets the problem when the car is restarted or when it is turned all the way to the right, the problem occurs again shortly. I took it to the dealership but like others, i only got a big bill of $2800.
