Consumer Description
STIFF STEERING WHEN THE TEMPERATURE RISES. THERE IS RESISTANCE TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT OFF CENTER. OFF RAMPS SEEM TO BE THE MOST DANGEROUS BECAUSE ONCE I TURN RIGHT OFF CENTER THE VEHICLE WANTS TO CONTINUE TURNING RIGHT. THIS HAS HAPPENED EVERY TIME I'VE DRIVEN THIS VEHICLE WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS ABOVE 85 DEGREES.
