Steering column locked on me while I was making a left turn. I literally had to pull hard to the left to avoid hitting another car or going right up into park cars. I called to Pontiac roadside service so they can tow because the car is still under warranty. Dealership they took it to said they found nothing wrong, I refuse to pick it up and drive it any longer. I have children and their lives are not worth a $12,000 car. This is the 2nd time in 4 months that this car has been returned to the dealership for defects.
