Consumer Description

STEERING STICKS JUST LEFT OF CENTER, TYPICALLY AT FREEWAY SPEEDS, BUT ALSO AS LOW AS 40 MPH. STICK IS INTERMITTENT AND WEAK ENOUGH THAT IT DOES NOT CURRENTLY PRESENT A DANGER TO OPERATING THE VEHICLE SAFELY. STEERING MUST BE HELD STATIONARY FOR IN EXCESS OF 2-3 SECONDS JUST LEFT OF CENTER FOR THE STEERING TO STICK. WEAVING OR SWAYING THE CAR LEFT TO PROVIDE PROVIDES SMOOTH AND DIRECT STEERING INPUT. THE ISSUE HAS BECOME MORE INTERMITTENT WITH COLDER WEATHER, TYPICALLY REQUIRING LONGER DRIVES FOR THE ISSUE TO REAPPEAR. *TR
