While attempting to turn into a restaurant from a stopped position, your steering wheel suddenly became extremely difficult to turn. Your passenger had to help manually steer the vehicle, which caused you to hit the curb and nearly block highway traffic. The steering remained very hard to turn even after restarting, making it difficult to reach a parking spot safely.
