I was driving home from 7-Eleven and was approaching a sharp left turn. All of a sudden my steering wheel locked; it was extremely difficult to move then I went straight into a ditch and broke my front wheel axle and damaged my back right panel. All because my steering wheel locked on me.
I was attempting to turn around on my street and was hit on the driver's side by an oncoming car. Immediately thereafter, I tried to pull into a nearby driveway, but the car seemed to suddenly accelerate tremendously and plowed into the back of a parked car in that driveway. I was trying to brake but had no time as the car accelerated so suddenly. It damaged my grill and the bumper of the car that was hit. It appears that other owners of the Chrysler 200C have experienced similar issues with it accelerating when the driver is trying to brake.
