What owners wrote
The vehicle was in motion when the steering wheel locked suddenly. It hit a sidewall on the right and careened to the left and finally came to a stop when it hit another vehicle. At this point, the steering wheel was still locked despite the fact that the engine was running and it was still in drive
Left axel cv joint is bad at under 59,000 miles on the car. It is effecting the steering when turning left and jerks the wheel back - dangerous!
