| Description of the problem | While driving highway speed, steering wheel feels like it gets stuck while trying to maintain steering. As you turn the steering wheel left to right and right to left trying to maintain lane it feels like the steering wheel catches each time you slightly turn the steering wheel and causes you to over correct making it difficult to maintain lane. Feel it is a safety issue, especially at highway speeds. There have been times where i overcorrected and the car veered out of its lane. Vehicle has been taken to dealer twice so far and they say they can't recreate the situation, even though i drove the car with service person in it and the "sticking" occurred while i drove it. |
