| Component | STEERING |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Highway driving at speeds around and above 60mph the vehicle' steering requires constant correction to keep it within the lanes. The suv randomly swerves in one direction or the other and requires quite a bit of effort to bring it back to center lane. The constant battle to keep the suv centered in the lane causes arm fatigue over time. Passengers, especially in the back seat, could experience motion sickness due to the constant side-to-side corrections. Noticed the problem is worse on larger highways, 3-4 lanes wide. May be due to angle of roads for water run-off. This is not a one time incident, it is always this way. No problem whatsoever at lower speeds. |
