I didnt see anything, and couldn't hear anything so i left again. I drove about 5 miles to work in a straight line. First turn i go to take it locked up again. Thank god i was barely moving. I stopped revved the engine and it freed up. So i turned into work and parked. Took off a couple hours later and it did it again as soon as i went to turn. So i drove to the dealer 1 mile away, it locked up turning in there, so i left it there, and they have been working on it since yesterday. No word yet on the problem. They said there is a note in thier system to check a wire in the wiring harness for the power steering pump. All i have to say i thank god it only did it at slow speeds. Because at a high speed, i would have died. I could not move the wheels at all by hand without the pump working, and i am by no means a small guy. And i simply did not have the strength to move the wheel.
