| Component | STEERING |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Steering wheel "gave-in" multiple times while accelerating through turns at 15mph or sharp curves at 50-60mph. For example, when turning left, wheel gave-in to the left and grabbed, but wheels did not move with extra movement of the steering wheel, like steering was moving on its own. I took it back to the dealership within a few days of buying it, telling them i had no control of steering around curves or turns. They diagnosed it as a faulty steering rack. After rack replacement, steering is normal. This vehicle only had 90,037 miles. |
