Twice the steering in Sierra has locked up while turning. The first time I was taking a curve to the right, and the steering wheel wouldn't allow me to curve right. It would still allow me to turn left. After coming to a stop and parking the truck, the issues resolved itself. The second occurrence happened as I was taking a left turn. I had completed the left turn, and as the wheel was returning to the center(turning back to the right), the wheel locked. I was forced into the next lane and almost caused an accident. I had to use a lot of strength, and I eventually forced it. When it broke free, it made a loud pop sound. The dealership could not find the cause of the problem. I am afraid to drive the truck.
