What owners wrote

Was driving car in the parking lot leaving work and was unable to turn the steering wheel. Steering wheel had locked up on it, I struggled to turn the wheel and it wouldn't turn. Ended up crashing into a concrete light pole. Was only going about 15 MPH and no airbags deployed. Hit my head on the steering wheel and knee into the dash. Had to go to the hospital by ambulance. Also, the week prior, my low tire indicator light kept coming on and every time I would check the tire pressure it was fine.

December 2014 CrashInjury

Pulling out of drive way after it was stationary over night. I got a "steer loss stop safely" message along with hill assist and traction control all failing at the same time. Safetly concern as I cannot turn the wheel luckily it happened at home not on the highway.
