Description of the problem | Audi a4 2013. The car will not stay centered in the lane on the highway. It wanders off center without any change in the road or position of the steering wheel. It constantly feels like it is being buffeted in a heavy wind.. When i turn to correct, the car overshoots and i have to turn back again to center it. Software upgrade did not fix the problem. This is dangerous, as the car drifts from side to side with the steering wheel held steady. Dealer says this is normal for audi cars. Not true, as i drove a 2017 a4 with no steering issues at all. This is a problem with the electromechanical steering. |
