I was starting my car getting ready to go to church, and the steering wheel wouldn't turn, then my power steering light came on. I had my granddauther to call a mechanic and they said that it might be a electrical problem. My car was in a parking space where I live. I did get the chance to move the car. I can drive the car but I'm afraid that it will lock on me while driving it.
I was on my way home just getting off highway with speed limit of 65 mph, when I parked at local grocery store near my home. Parked in stall fine but about 10 minutes later I found upon attempting to drive out of the stall, I could hardly turn my car to make it out of the parking lot. I was able to slowly drive it home hoping it would correct itself then noticing powered steering light on dash. On arrival to my home I parked backwards in fear of getting stuck. I then tried numerous times to turn on and off the car with no change in steering or dashboard light. Fortunately this happened literally a mile off the highway which I could have easily gotten into a serious accident with much higher speeds and no control to drive the automobile.
