What owners report

  • Steering wheel sticks or feels stiff when moving off-center, especially after highway driving over 10 minutes.
  • Car drifts slightly to one side at highway speed, requiring added steering angle before the wheel suddenly goes light and jerks back toward center.
  • Small steering corrections near center cause the car to jerk in the direction of the correction, leading to repeated re-correction.
  • Steering becomes so stiff at highway speeds that quick maneuvers to avoid a hazard are difficult.
  • Adaptive cruise control has triggered unexpected braking or emergency braking with no obstacle present.
  • Lane-keeping assist has pulled the steering wheel unexpectedly in merges, lane splits, or construction zones.
