| Component | STEERING |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Steering wheel automatically goes the opposite direction while in gear 1 or 2 when it is turned half way. This happens under parking conditions (difficult not to hit other cars); and turning in high traffic situations (very dangerous in congested areas). I lost control of the car steering (it was going the opposite direction such as in a skidding situation) on the highway getting on from an onramp (from first gear to second - from a stop sign) and almost steered into oncoming cars!! I have a video example of the problem that i can send via email if you need. |
