| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | There is play in the steering wheel especially at highway speeds (above 60 mph) and the problem seems to be getting worse. It was always lose but the severity was noticed on a 1200 mile road trip and continues to be an issue. This issue causes the driver to constantly adjust the steering wheel and feels like you do not have complete control of the vehicle. Along with the constant adjusting, in order to go straight the steering wheel is about a degree off from center. This lose steering makes it difficult to stay in the lanes while driving and is a safety hazard that needs fixed and a recall needs to be issued. |
