| Description of the problem | Car started this at approximately 10,000 miles. It "wanders" on the road, at highway speeds. The steering wheel feels like it "sticks" at speed in the center position and it takes considerable force to turn the wheel from center. This causes overcorrection in the steering and you tend to go back and forth. Single-handed cruising is definitely out of the equation, as it requires a two-handed tight grip for even tiny adjustments. My wife hates it and it is upsetting to happen in a new car. Did not do this when new and does it in all modes (normal, eco, sport). |
