Description of the problem | Purchase a audi a4 2013 in february of 2019. Steering wheel is an ongoing issue with audi electric power steering rack and needing it to be replaced. Its dangerous to drive because turning takes strength and a handful of effort. It is extremely dangerous to drive to the point where i dont want to risk my life driving the car. After researching the "electric power steering rack" issue multiple people have it. Searching youtube, and google multiple owners have the issue and as a result some dont drive or have to spend an enormous amount of money to get it fixed. It is an issue for multiple models the stiffness of the steering wheel is severe. Nearly crashed multiple times due to the stiffness and had to revert back to my older car. I want to see whether this is an ongoing issue with the "electric power steering rack" and would like to get a recall or something since this is an ongoing issue. Got it checked by dealer and they also said this is an ongoing issue but, there is no recall as of now. |
