Description of the problem | The steering wheel became stiff after 57500 miles. Very very occasionally the issue goes away. But it is persistent for most of the time. Diagnosed with no fault codes. It is a nightmare to take a right or left turn. I took the car to an outside technician twice but both the times my car did not replicate the issue. He did not believe me and thinks i'm wasting his time. This is a very serious issue if ignored. Since no one believes me, i do not what to do. The issue has become worse. Audi needs to address this issue as safety is at stake. |
