My Son's 2005 Sonata has a intermittent problem when he slows to make a turn R or L turn the steering wheel locked up as if the key was removed. Now I questioned him under hot lights (not LEDs) and said you mean you lost power assist and it became stiff right? And after the 3rd or 4th time it happened he assured me NO it's as if you took key out and lock engaged. Then after 5-10 secs it's normal?? I have not experienced this myself so far, but notice the wheel only locks with key removed in 2 positions with front wheels about 20 degrees either L or R of straight. Is this correct? Should steering wheel only lock up in those 2 positions, I think so basically anti theft right. So we noted the steering wheel positions so when it locks up again to see if it in those lock positions. This problem scares me a little so any help is very appreciated, Google only gives you the common can't turn key problem due to steering wheel pressure, but after searching for hrs. and finding nothing I'm worried. Thx
