While making a left turn at low speed through an intersection, your car's wheels suddenly stopped turning even though you were pressing the accelerator and nothing was blocking the road. A message appeared on your dashboard, but you couldn't read it, and cars behind you honked as your vehicle came to an unexpected halt. After putting the car in park and restarting it, you were able to drive to a safe location and then to the dealer for diagnosis.
