I PURCHASED A NEW 2017 VELOSTER IN MAY 2018. BEGINNING IN MID AUGUST I STARTED TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR NOT STOPPING AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKING WHEN ATTEMPTING TO STOP. IT HAPPENED ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. ESCALATING EACH TIME. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I ALMOST HIT SOMEONE IN THE BACK. THE SECOND TIME I ALMOST ENDED UP IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC GOING THROUGH THE STOP LIGHT. THE THIRD TIME I GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT WHILE TRYING TO MAKE A TURN AND THE WHEEL AND BRAKES DID THE SAME THING AGAIN...MAKING MY CAR NOT DRIVEABLE CURRENTLY. MY CAR HAS ABOUT 3000 MILES ON IT. EACH TIME THIS OCCURRED I WAS ON A CITY STREET WITH STOP LIGHTS. AVERAGE SPEED 35-45 .
