What owners wrote
Upon accelerating the vehicle onto a 3 lane road, all warning lights came on in the vehicle. A warning message presented on the dashboard stating "engine power reduction" and then the vehicle shut down completely while moving. The engine shut off and the vehicle would not disengage from park. Vehicle had to be towed from the location. At the dealership, the dealer informed me the engine throttle body and intake tube duct hose should be replaced.
While driving, specifically when making turns at various speeds, the steering wheel would get jammed up and be almost impossible to turn back to complete a turn/get straightened out. Happens on both left and right turns. First happened about 2 weeks ago, just one time while exiting my driveway. I turned the engine off and back on and it seemed to go away. It is now very clear that it is mechanical in nature, somewhere close to the steering wheel in the console.
