When it's a little cold out and i start up my car,my steering wheel will not turn, it's like it is locked. Until it warms up a bit i can't and will not move it until it becomes normal again. This has been an ongoing issue since the beginning of oct. 2019.i understand it has everything to do with the electronic steering component. I am very concerned it may lock up on me while i'm driving and cause an accident??

My srs airbag warning light came on out of nowhere. Shortly after that my steering wheel continually clicks when i turn it. And within the same day now my horn stopped working as well as all of the buttons on the steering wheel no longer work including the cruise control. The light never went away and the functions of the steering wheel no longer work when there is no cause or reason for this to happen.

Steering wheel recall. I was coming out from an alley to get into the main road, the steering wheel froze, locked up, or jammed to the right. Quickly stepped on the brake to avoid injury and damage to the car. Had to restart engine to gain control of car. Could be fatal if there was oncoming car or merging on interstate.
