I DROVE TO BALTIMORE FROM DC AND BACK WITH NO ISSUES, THEN TURNED TO GO INTO THE ALLEYWAY BEHIND MY HOME. ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND WOULD NOT TURN AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD CAME ON, INCLUDING THE BRAKE LIGHT. MY BRAKE PAD FROZE MIDWAY DOWN, STOPPING THE CAR, BUT NOT BUDGING, EVEN WHEN I TAPPED THE GAS PEDAL. I PUT ON AND OFF THE PARKING BRAKE, TO NO AVAIL. I TRIED TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL AROUND, BUT COULD NOT. THEN I TRIED TO TURN OFF THE CAR AND RESTART IT, BUT IT TOOK ME THREE TRIES. WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR, THE BRAKE PAD STARTED FUNCTIONING NORMALLY AGAIN AND THE CAR HAS BEEN NORMAL EVER SINCE. ADDITIONALLY, NOTHING LIKE THIS HAS EVER HAPPENED BEFORE. *TR
