Recent owner reports: Steering
“While driving, the vehicle consistently exhibits a “wandering” or drifting sensation, especially at highway speeds. The steering wheel does not sit centered when driving straight, and small corrections are constantly required to keep the vehicle in its lane. This behavior has been present despite the tires being properly inflated and the vehicle having relatively low mileage.”
“Sticky steering most notable at highway speeds after 20-30 minutes of run time. Requires more force than necessary to make corrections to stay in lane causing over steering. Same occurs on long left hand turns where steering sticks then breaks free. In addition, steering wheel makes clicking/springy sound when turning wheel.”
“Steering binding, car feels unstable, steering wheel does return to center, car floats at any speed, issue gets worse with speed, this is going to cause a crash sooner or later, faulty steering rack”
