What owners wrote
The key was barely bumped while in the ignition and driving on a high speed road twice and the key turned to the off position so my steering wheel locked up to the point I can barely get to the side of the road to safely put the car in park to restart it. Having a baby in the backseat too both times made it a very scary situation
