Seat belts "sticking", steering making loud "pop" noises when turning wheel, transmission shifting very hard from park to reverse on a angle. Now my engine locked up, was hesitating when accelerating.

While making a left turn at a low speed the steering wheel locked up and could not be turned to the right without using excessive effort. Once the steering wheel was turned to the right it would jump back to the left casing a sudden change in the vehicle's direction. The vehicle was towed to the dealer.
