Consumer Description

STEERING BECOMES STIFF, WILL NOT TURN WITHOUT EXCESSIVE FORCE AND IF IN TURN REQUIRES EXCESSIVE FORCE TO RETURN TO NEUTRAL POSITION. WHEN TURN IT WILL HANG AND FORCING CAUSES OVER STEER. ACCORDING TO INTER CHAT THE FIX WAS TO LUBRICATE THE STEERING COLUMN UNIVERSAL JOINT ABOVE STEERING PUMP IN ENGINE ROOM. DID THIS, WAS GOOD UNTIL MAY 2014 AND SUDDENLY RETURN, LUBRICATION NOT WORKING SO WELL THIS TIME. THIS WOULD CAUSE MY WIFE TO WRECK, IT COULD CAUSE AND MAY HAVE CAUSED ACCIDENTS. APPEARS TO BE COMMON ISSUE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE BECAUSE MANY COMPLAINTS ON LOGGED ON WEB SITES. *TR
