“Never had issues until now but I've been randomly having issues with my power steering locking up on me. It's a real dangerous safety hazard because one minute it's normal and drivable. Then I may get back in the car and it's locking up again. I don't have a regular power steering pump,because my car runs off electric power steering. I just really need help figuring out the source of this issue.”
