Component | STEERING |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | The steering is very stiff. Very uncomfortable to drive. Constantly feels like you're fighting it. For instance going down the interstate in a slight curve, feels like pulls back. Very stiff steering, especially when turning. Looked up similar complaints online. From what i read, it appears to be possible the intermediate steering shaft. From the descriptions i've read, it's a poor design. Maybe needs some protection from the elements. Like a rubber boot to protect it from the elements. Just very stiff steering and difficult to steer. |
