| Component | STEERING |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Car suddenly pulled to right, wouldn't hold center. Really felt it driving in town. Steering felt like someone was grabbing and releasing the steering wheel. Read on a forum that it could be the battery. Replaced battery (which started the car just fine) ... And it does seem to have solved the problem. This sudden loss of steering control is going to be a problem and the average person will not realize a weakening battery could be the issue, resulting in a rip-off. Not normally a complainer, but this is really dangerous! |
