While traveling I lost assisted steering to my vehicle, this was while traveling at a low speed, and while cornering. This mechanical failure caused my vehicle to travel off the road causing personal damages. I've since learned of manufacture recalls that describe this situation. I've experienced it once prior while in traffic. other than towing it home I've no contact with any insurance or other people and I cannot seem to sell it in its current condition. The ignition problem is present every time I insert my key or remove it. I've not yet had any inspection done to it.

low speed the steering wheel locks up and when turning left the light will dim as it locks
