| Component | STEERING |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | The steering wheel continues to stick when driving on the highway. You have to literally tug on the steering wheel when taking curves on the highway. It began to make me feel unsafe while driving because of how difficult it had become trying to straighten the wheel after the curves. I know that a plastic part broke before, and the dealership fixed it with a metal part, not sure if it is the same issue. |
