Description of the problem | i was backing out of my garage one morning and noticed a slight sticking feeling in my steering. Thinking it was a tire, i ran my errand and checked my tire inflation. One week later we took a short trip (50 miles) and the further i got down the road, the more i felt this notch in the center of my steering. When one tries to overcome this notch, you overcorrect the steering and could possibly dart off too fast. This is a dangerous situation. Again we checked our tires which seemed to be fine, then determined it was in the steering. We researched for similar situations on line and found there was an issue with these cars prior to 06/2006. Our car was mfg. 04/2006. Is there a recall in place for this wide spread problem? |
