2005 Mazda Mazda3 - Steering failure

Hi. My Mazda 3 2005 has a problem. All of the sudden my steering wheel gets really hard to steer almost like it was locked, most of the times when im maneuvering and doing close turns and then stays like that for a while and again from sudden returns to normal

Contact your dealer… they will have more info on this. there is a service bulletin for this problem that effects a few years. I believe from 2005-2007 that i can remember.
