Vehicle suddenly became very difficult to impossible to steer. Failed to negotiate a turn and nearly hit a tree.

This requires excessive force to move the steering wheel which results in a "jump" when the steering moves (breaks loose). This sudden "jump" results in vehicle moving excessively, especially scary in traffic!
