Typical steering symptoms owners report

  • Owners report sudden loss of power steering assist, sometimes with a snap noise and warning lights, leaving the wheel very hard to turn.
  • Some describe the steering pulling to one side, either left or right, at speed or during acceleration, even after alignments and tire checks.
  • Several report the electric power steering locking up or seizing without warning, forcing hard braking to stop the car.
  • Others say the steering wheel would not return to center after a turn and had to be pulled back manually.
  • A few link steering problems to water intrusion near the electric steering assist unit, causing intermittent failure even while driving.
