Scary Steering Glitch
After about a 50 mile drive on the interstate today, I go to turn off the exit ramp and the steering wheel wouldn't turn. After a little panic and a little more force it broke free and everything was fine. Up until then I had been changing lanes with no problems, but the exit required a greater turn of the wheel. Here's the really strange part. It happened one other time about 6 weeks ago. It was exactly the same trip on the interstate, and the same exit. The wheel did the same thing. Both times I had my snow plow on and it was snowing lightly. I find it hard to believe that this is just coincidence. Any body have any ideas before I take it to the dealer? By the way, I changed the power steering fluid about 8 months ago, and the level is still fine. Thanks, John

You know, I thought of that, but I always travel with the plow full up and very little angle on it. I also thought it might be snow build up in the wheel wells, but that wasn't the case. I'm afraid when I take it to the dealer they won't be able to duplicate it. I have an extended warranty that covers the suspension so I'll probably just spend the hundred bucks to see if they can figure it out.
