STEERING MALFUNCTION WHILE DRIVING. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED MAKING IT HARD TO STEER THE VEHICLE. MESSAGE FOR ESC AND POWER STEERING CAME ON. THE STEERING WHEEL CONTINUES TO JERK AND TWITCH WHEN DRIVING.

REAR FUSE BLOCK MELTED AT FUSE LOCATION 23 FOR REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER 2ND OCCURRENCE ON VEHICLE. REAR DEFOGGER ILLUMINATED ON DASH INDICATING THAT DEFOGGER WAS ON. WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. OPENED REAR FUSE BLOCK IN TRUCK TO EXAMINE FUSE AND FOUND FUSE HAD MELTED AND FUSE BLOCK IS ALSO MELTED SHOWING POTENTIAL FOR FIRE HAZARD.
