Steering wheel froze and vehicle could not accelerate. Towed to the dealer who found out that the cause was a defect in the axle. When the consumer managed to pull over and placed the vehicle into park, the vehicle continued to move. On a separate occasion, the ignition chip had to be changed because the vehicle would not start.
