Description of the problem | I have been having an issue with trying to keep the car driving straight down the highway. At "in town speeds" it seems fine. It feels as if the steering wheel gets stuck in place or locked up. The car wants to always go either left or right, whichever way the steering wheel was turned to slightly. I thought that it may be the tires so i had them rotated, no change. I bought new tires, still no change. I had the alignment checked and all steering and suspension items visually inspected and all was fine. It has been getting worse over the past couple of weeks, and now is to the point where i'm afraid to drive it. I did a google search today to see if others had run into this issue for a possible solution. Wow was i surprised to see how many others have had this exact same issue. I then came to your site and entered my vin and found that there were no open recalls for this issue. As i was reading on i found where to enter a complaint here so i am doing so in hopes to have a recall for the problem that many are having. |
