Can you quote a source for where you have heard of this fault?
The closest I have heard to this (on this site) was caused by the sway bar becoming loose and contacting some part of the steering mechanism. This would only occur at low speeds and extreme steering wheel rotations, like maneuvering in car parks. Sorry but I cannot remember the symptoms. I had a quick trawl of the site but couldn't find that thread. You could try the search function and see if you can find it.
There has not been a mass complaint, again on this site, of anything like that.
