Description of the problem | Steering seems to lock in a position, or at least stop. I then have to use extra force to get to go past the lock / stop point. And then after a little more time the situation repeats itself again. The problem is that not every time that i use the car does it do it, about 25% of the time. I am concerned that it may sometime lock in position and then there will be an accident. There must be a fix easier than a steering rack replacement, which was recommended by one shop....
