Your advice will be highly appreciated.

Thank you

How long ago (exactly) did you buy the car, and how did you buy it (dealer, private sale, auction) ?

Does it have the dreaded electric steering ? If so that's going to be expensive , you need to check out if its electric or hydraulic if its hydraulic it could something simple like a belt or a pump or short on fluid ,any warning lights on the dashboard ?

If you had it less than 3 months the dealer has to fix it for free !
