The steering locks up like it's power steering but it's not I lose all control of acceleration the only way to regain control is to put the car in park turn it off turn it back on sometimes it doesn't want to start right back up this has happened four times while my kids are in the car and while in motion and the dealership can't find anything wrong with it all they do is update the computer.

Vehicle makes a ticking noise while playing the radio and or driving on the freeway and going over 60 mph. There is also loud banging noise on the driver side passenger seat as if air or something is hitting the vehicle. Tired don't hold pressure and driving at times seems uneven or off track as well.
