I was turning left at a intersection and about halfway through the turn the wheel locked up like it was parked... I have no idea why the hell it did that. I had to throw it in neutral and turn it off and on again then it started working normal. Has anyone expereinced this??? I'm confused.

 

No, I have never had that happen, but I have had it stall on me while turning at a light (only once though).

 

WHOA!!!!

Thats Freaky!!

These Column's have an Internal shaft steering wheel lock!!
They are Not suppose to lock till you turn the key to off!!

I would have that checked ASAP!!
Unless you accidently turned the ignition off while you were driving!

 

the ignition was still on. going into the turn the truck was still moving then half way through it the wheel locked. the truck would still move with the gas just not turn.

 

That sux!!

I'd look @ it for you,but your a Little Far from me!!

 

anything you can think of that it might be?? I just had long tubes installed last week and the only problem i'm getting from that is the check engine light coming on and the code P0420 (for the cat) i also took it to dodge the day before the wheel locked up for an oil change... this is very odd/confusing!!

 

I am having the same problem now it comes and goes people are telling me its the power steering pump

 

Doubt it is the power steering pump.

I think your ignition cylinder is failing.... I bet you will be able to recreate the problem if you wiggle your key while turning in a circle (do this in a BIG parking lot at SLOW SPEED)

Otherwise it might be the actual shaft lock that has failed somehow, which is very uncommon but still possible as it is a mechanical lock.
