Consumer Description

WHEN DRIVING AND YOU MAKE SLIGHT TURNS AND GO BACK TO STRAIGHTEN WHEEL OUT THE STEERING LOCKS UP FOR A FEW SECONDS. FROM ALL THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE IT SEEMS LIKE THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING ASSIST IS THE ISSUE. I NOTICED THIS TO HAPPEN AS WE WERE DRIVING THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS. I SEE ONLINE OTHERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. THE WHEEL GETS VERY HARD TO HOLD ONTO AND I WOULD HATE TO HAVE TO BE IN A BIG TURN AND CAN'T TURN THE WHEEL BACK ESPECIALLY IF WE ARE GOING AT A NORMAL SPEED. THIS WILL ACT UP AT ANYTIME ON ANY TYPE OF ROAD. FROM RESEARCH THIS CAN BE QUIET EXPENSIVE FOR THE REPAIR, AS IT IS CAUSING OTHER THINGS TO BE AFFECTED THAT MAY NEED REPAIRS AS WELL.
