Thankfully I was able to coast into the gas station where I put the car in park, turned it off, and then back on. It started fine. If I had been on the highway, I would be dead!!!! This is incredibly dangerous!!!!”
NHTSA complaint #11006067, filed 2017-07, 50,000 miles“I was driving the car on the highway. Suddenly, the oil pressure low warning message came on, and the steering wheel locked up. I shut the car off and started it back on, and the message went away and the steering functioned like it was supposed to. I pulled to the nearest gas station and checked the engine oil level. It was right where it was the supposed to be. I continued driving the car with no issues, but I am still very concerned”
