| As soon as i got on the freeway, the steering wheel, brake, and accelerator locked up. i managed to make it down the ramp to the side of the freeway. i put on the emergency brake because, the car kept rolling. i attempted to turn the car off but, the key was stuck in the ignition. the car was still on. i managed to get the key out and waited a few minutes then i restarted the car. i drove to the nearest exit and when i got off the freeway, it happened again in the left turn lane so, i could not get over. i waited and restarted the car like before. i parked and let the car run for a few minutes. since then it has not happened but, this is a 2010 hyundai accent (hatchback) and i bought it not even 3 weeks prior to this incident. i took it back to the dealership and they could not find out what was wrong with it. they told me because they could not duplicate the problem, they were chasing a ghost and could not help me. i asked what if it happens again and leads to an accident. i was told they can't help me with that question because they could not find a problem in the car. they returned the car to me with nothing fixed and no answers. i do not know what lead up to this problem. i have not crashed or damaged this car in any way. if the dealership does not know what is wrong and how to keep this from happening again, how am i supposed to feel safe driving this car? *tr | |||
