| Description of the problem | Was driving at 9:30 am on eldorado parkway in frisco tx, outside air temperature was ~ 45 deg f. When i attempted to to turn left, the steering wheel was incredibly tight and i nearly drifted into the lane to the right. I contacted the closest dealer immediately and they advised me that they were not aware of any issue. Less than 48 hour later they contacted me stating that there was a bulletin and they did a software update to correct. On the internet, i found bulletin 08-092-18 that described the issue. Given the nature of the problem, i no longer trust this vehicle. |
