Consumer Description

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS) RANDOMLY GETS A "NOTCHY" FEELING AND LOSES ITS TRUE CENTER. THE WHEEL CANNOT BE HELD AT A PERFECT "12 O'CLOCK." IT IS EITHER AT 11:57 OR 12:03, SO GOING STRAIGHT DOWN A ROAD REQUIRES CONSTANT CORRECTION ON THE PART OF THE DRIVER. THESE NOTCHES PERSIST THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE STEERING WHEEL. IN OTHER WORDS, BY MAKING A HARD LEFT, THE WHEEL WILL PASS THROUGH 8-10 DIFFERENT NOTCHES. AT SOME POINT, THE PROBLEM WILL THEN GO AWAY AND DISAPPEAR. *TR
