Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT, THE STEERING WHEEL TENDS TO STICK, FORCE IS NEEDED TO STEER TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT OR TO EVEN KEEP IT GOING STRAIGHT. ONCE YOU START TURNING IT SEEMS TO FEEL NORMAL UNTIL YOU START TO MOVE THE WHEEL BACK TO THE NEUTRAL POSITION, THEN YOU REALIZE THE WHEEL IS NOW STUCK IN THIS POSITION. IT USUALLY TAKES QUITE A TUG TO GET IT MOVING AGAIN! IT APPEARS TO BE GETTING MORE EXTREME AND REQUIRING MORE FORCE TO MOVE THE WHEEL. I HAVE OWNED THE CAR FOR ABOUT 2 1/2 YEARS AND HAVE ALWAYS THOUGHT IT STEERED A LITTLE DIFFERENT, I JUST FIGURED IT WAS A BMW THING AND IT BEING A SMALLER CAR THAT WAS CAUSING IT TO HANDLE THIS WAY!! I DON'T THINK THAT ANY MORE! *TR
