So, routine trip in my Panda last night.
Waited for a friend to return with the engine on (other systems like radio, headlights, etc all running too) and I noticed a little red steering wheel light had come on.. a tug of the wheel and it wouldn't move at all - as if the car was turned off.
Had to restart the car, no light came on and I drove home like normal. This was a little scary however?!
Like what made it come on, should it have and what does it mean?
Done some short trips today no problem but it's at the back of my mind. What if it locks whilst I'm driving at 60mph!? I was thinking because the past owners (family whom i asked) said they never used the City button yet I turn it on/off multiple times per journey that the sudden use of the City button could be harming the system as it's not used to being used? (tongue twisting sentence)
Any input is appreciated. Also heard that this car had the steering re-done by Fiat in the past years ago, but yet to enquire with the family member who owned it at the time and the recall sticker in the boot is blank
