Typical steering symptoms owners report

  • Owners report sudden, complete loss of power steering assist at low speeds, with a warning indicator and a stiff steering wheel that only returns to normal after stopping, shifting to park, and restarting the engine.
  • Some describe the vehicle veering to one side on its own while driving, requiring an immediate steering correction, followed by a grinding noise and shaking from the rear of the car.
  • A few owners note the steering wheel must be held at an angle to keep the car driving straight, even after a wheel alignment was performed.
  • Rear suspension play has been reported alongside steering complaints, with side-to-side movement in the rear wheels that owners compare to a worn wheel bearing.
  • One owner reported the steering becoming harder to turn specifically when starting from a stop, alongside jerky gear shifts.
