Consumer Description

STEERING IS STICKY AND NOTCHY AT HIDHWAY SPEEDS. UNNOTICEABLE AT LOW SPEEDS, BUT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, IT HARD TO KEEP THE CAR IN YOUR LANE. STICKS,THEN OVER TURNS BAIT , CAUSING AN OVER CORRECTION TO RETURN. TURNING FEEL NO HAY AS IF IT WAS CLICKING FROM ONE NOTCH TO ANOTHER. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR ON THE HIGHWAY. THE DEALER HAS DIAGNOSED THIS TO BE THE STEERING COLUMN, WHICH NEEDS TO BE REPLACE AT THE COST OF $4600.00. I FEEL THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHICH NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.
