so the other day while i was driving, i felt my wheel get tighter and tighter. I got worried so i pulled over and thank God i was going only bout 30 to come to an easy break. When i stopped, my wheel was locked totally with my car and engine still on. Then i noticed the wheel with the exclamation point on but this was not on before while i was driving. i turned my engine off and on again and the wheel released. Im still driving everyday but im a bit worried that this might happen on the highway so what is up with this?

could it be power steering issue?

Loose battery terminals.

Your electric power steering torque sensor connector is loose. Remove the airbox and the plastic tray under it, and the EPS connector is staring right at you directly below the coolant overflow tube. Unplug the connector with the skinny wires and lightly bend the pins for better electrical contact. Problem solved.

Do a search on "power steering" in the tech forum. Everybody runs into this problem.

Just happened to me a couple of weeks ago, but it has not came back.....i think i could have knocked it loose when i went from my K&N tyhpoon 2 to the stock intake. hasn't happened in a month or so now i guess.
