Consumer Description

THE STEERING SYSTEM OF THE CAR IS NOT BEHAVING PROPERLY. IT IS MUCH HARDER TO TURN THAN NORMAL. FURTHERMORE, WHEN DRIVEN THROUGH CURVE, THE STEERING DOES NOT ALIGN BACK TO A STRAIGHT LINE AS IT HAS DONE IN THE PAST. SO, IN OTHER WORDS IF YOU DRIVE THROUGH A CURVE AND LET THE STEERING WHEEL GO FREE, THE CAR WILL NOT STRAIGHTEN OUT BUT CONTINUE TO FOLLOW THE CURVE. THE STEERING HAS TO BE PULLED HARD TO STRAIGHTEN THE VEHICLE OUT AND DRIVE A STRAIGHT LINE. NO WARNING LIGHTS ARE COMING UP IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER TO ADVISE OF ANY MALFUNCTION. *TR
