Component | STEERING |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | Steering control is notchy at low speeds. This happens randomly and not frequently only 5 times in two months. During each episode the steering had a high amount of resistance then jumped to the next position. At highway speeds (70 mph) the steering will not hold a straight line and small corrections must be made every few seconds to maintain your lane. The steering is impossible to keep on center making it very difficult to make long trips. This is at all times while at highway speed. The dealer representative told me that my vin is flagged for steering problems by audi but no fix was available at this time. |
