I was driving down the road when my steering wheel locked up and couldn't move, I eventually got it to a gas station where I purchased some power steering fluid because the light showed up under the time clock on the radio; come to find out there was a spot to put the fluid. Im still having issues with the power steering, it even caused my alignment to go bad and multiple flats tires. With the last flat tire, my service airbag light came on as well, just randomly. No check engine light has come on to be able to screen the vehicle to figure out what needs to be repaired on the power steering.

For several months, the indicator lights in the vehicle have been randomly coming on for one ting or another. The air bag light comes on as well as the engine light. At one point, the gas gauge indicates that the tank in about empty when we have just filled the tank half of the way. Being senior citizens, it is difficult to get a diagnosis on the car without paying beyond your budget, or getting the repairs done. Also the power steering freezes up while driving sometimes.

The vehicle vibrates in a certain pattern when above 55 MPH on the highway, no one seems to be able to figure out what is causing it. All 4 struts are new, sway bar bushings, sway bar links, control arms both upper and lower, all brake rotors are new. Cannot get the problem diagnosed by anyone because they cannot find out what it is. Also the check engine light turns on and off (code given is for running lean) but no mechanic or dealership have found why it's happening. One dealership even told me it could be the cars ecu. So they told me to verify if my car had any recalls. Please, any help about this is greatly appreciated this problem has been going on for over a month now (today's date 5/9/19)

For the last week I have been having problems with the ignition to my car that it takes 3-5 times of me trying to start the car before the car will start. I took it to auto zone this morning to test everything, my starter etc. When they plugged it in to the sub port underneath where I put my feet for the gas and break it wouldn't give him any readings and he did this 3-4 times. He said the only thing he could say it was computer issues and if my service engine light was on to get it turned off. I looked for recalls but none came up. What do I do because computer work is very expensive. Any help or advice would be appreciated. The vehicle is stationary every time and it only does this when the vehicles sits for long periods/ over night. I turn everything from ny daytime lights, my radio and dome light off. It's had been doing this since august 10, 2018. My email is [xxx] you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
