Typical steering symptoms owners report
- Steering wheel suddenly seizes or locks while turning, sometimes leading to a crash into another vehicle or fixed object.
- Steering sticks after roughly 10 minutes of driving and worsens as speed increases from 30 mph to 70 mph, then can suddenly unstick and cause a swerve.
- Vehicle drifts or wanders out of its lane because the steering does not respond consistently, especially at highway speed.
- Steering wheel wobbles at lower speeds (around 25 mph) when lane assist is active, and stops wobbling once lane assist is turned off.
- Owners report a loud clunk from the front end paired with unpredictable steering response, with dealers telling them it is normal.
- Some owners already received recall notice 24V744000 but say replacement parts were not yet available when the issue occurred.
