Consumer Description

THE CAR WAS DRIVING NORMALLY ALL DAY ON MAIN ROADS AROUND TOWN UNTIL THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO FEEL KIND OF LOOSE. THAN THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN MAKING A WHINING NOISE WHILE TURNING AND SOMETIMES LOSE THE CENTER POSITION AND DRAG ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. IT SEEMS LIKE THE POWER STEERING WANTS TO GIVE UP BUT IT CATCHES ITSELF. BRAKING SEEMS FINE AND DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS SEEMS OKAY UNTIL I GET UP TO 30-40 MPH. I BELIEVE THIS HAS TO DO WITH THE POWER STEERING SINCE IN THIS LEXUS MODEL IT IS ELECTRIC POWER STEERING. FEELS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE, I'M WORRIED IT WILL LOOSE POWER STEERING AT A TURN AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.
