What owners wrote

On july 17th 2019. I was gaining speed on an entrance ramp to highway 95n in stafford, va. As I approached 60 MPH the suv's steering wheel locked up on me and I couldn't turn the wheel. I tried the brakes and the brakes wouldn't work they were hard and would not push down. I let it slow itself down and made it to the side of 95n. I then put the SUV in park with hazards on. I exited the SUV to check for any damage and or indications of what caused the svu to lock up while driving.

Reported at 26,485 miles, July 2019 Injury

I was in park waiting for a spot to open up in a school parking lot, took my vehicle out of park and proceeded to put in drive and move 20 feet or so to the parking spot, as I was turning into the spot I engaged the brake to come to a complete stop but my pedal did not work, it did not spring back like it is suppose to and my vehicle did not stop and a concrete parking pillar stopped my vehicle for me.
