I'm normally a sceptic. I hear and read people exaggerating or misrepresenting the actual event quite frequently. And some would say I do those things too, now and then.
But this:

For those in doubt, I am in my 50's and have been driving lots of car without power steering in the early 80 so I would know what it feel like.
My "Steering locked" issue remained until I turn off the car and leave it for 10 secs before turning it on again. It was not cutting in and out like some mentioned here.

This is simply Tomking telling us clearly and precisely what happened. And I agree with him, it is a serious issue.
Furthermore; this may be the first report on this issue, but that does not mean it'll turn out to be an isolated incident.
So, I'd be very grateful if someone with the necessary knowledge would consider investigating two questions:
- What could have caused the incident?
- How likely is it that this will happen in another car?
Unfortunately, this is far beyond my skillset. I have tried anyway, I came up empty.
