Traction control turns on/steering wheel locks up

I have a 2018 mustang GT, I got it used with only 17,000 miles. I got it in August 2019 lately my steering wheel has been locking up on my and my traction control turns on. It freaks me out because I’ve almost got in multiple wrecks just turning into my neighborhood. I took it to ford and they are saying nothing is wrong with it the computers are fine and they can’t find the issue. Right when I left ford it happened again. It happens to me atleast 3-4 times a day,

If it happens that easily, perhaps you can take their technician for a ride and demo it.

Can you give us a bit more details about what actually happens? When you say steering locks up, do you mean you can’t move it at all? Or is it hard to move but still possible.

im thinking EPS issue possibly.

and when you say traction control kicks in what do you mean? Do you feel engine torque decrease during acceleration? Is the TCS light blinking, do you feel brakes being applied on the rear wheels? Are you trying to launch hard at that point?

this one I struggle with because traction control is there to limit excessive wheel spin during hard accelerations. And when you turn into your sub I doubt you’re hard on the throttle.
