2005 Mercury Montego rack and pinion

Help! Anyone experienced this??!! Parents bought 2005 Mercury Montego

3 months ago. On their way North from Naples, FL to Massachusetts. Went to get off Gainesville, FL exit. Steering locked. Almost died. They are OK, but I need to know if anyone has had this problem with this type car. Thanks.

some taurus/sable vehicles which utilized similar powertrain had a faulty transmission range sensor that caused intermittent loss of power steering which makes it very hard to steer but not necessarily a lock up condition.perhaps?
