My steering wheel wont turn while I am on the brake?

Sep 13, 2010 by Mark | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs

I am driving a 2007 Saturn Vue, whenever I go to turn the steering wheel left or right while pressing on the brake it is a pain to turn, I have to use all of my strength to turn the steering wheel, while I am off the brake I can turn the steering wheel no problem, someone please help!
To make matters worse I have a road test scheduled tomorrow

I would recommend taking the vehicle into your local dealership to be diagnosed. They should be able to assist you further and have a plan for addressing the issue. If you have further questions, feel free to contact me by email. Thank you.

I have a 1992 dodge dynasty..a week ago I got some work done on it to repair an electrical problem....a week later I could not get the steering wheel to turn.The car does start.


any idea what this could be

It could be a defective steering wheel lock or more likely a broken belt or failed power steering.

Indy Lights - Team E Demonstrates Paddle-Shift Innovation

31.12.69

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 30, 2011: Four drivers and other members of several prominent Firestone Indy Lights teams made positive comments after getting a first-hand look at a new paddle-shift system that Team E Racing tested on its Firestone Indy Lights car last week.

Drivers Rusty Mitchell and Conor Daly tried the system out at Sebring International Raceway in Sebring, Fla., during a private test last Monday, Oct. 24. Mitchell, Joel Miller and the 2011 Star Mazda champion, Tristan Vautier, also drove Team E’s paddle-shift-equipped No. 17 during the Chris Griffis Memorial Test, which was held on the road course at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway here Friday and yesterday, Oct. 28-29.

A paddle-shift system utilizes two “paddles,” or levers, mounted behind the steering wheel. With a paddle-shift system the driver can keep both hands on the steering wheel and use his fingers to upshift and downshift electronically with the paddles instead of taking his right hand off the steering wheel to move a traditional gear shift, which is usually mounted to the right of the seat and selects the gears in the transmission mechanically. With the system Team E tested last week, Pro-Shift’s PS3 system, the right-hand paddle is used for upshifts and the left-hand paddle is used for downshifts. A solenoid and an auto blipper (downshift) are part of the bolt-on package too.
