Consumer Description
AFTER TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, FOR 10 TO 20 MINUTES THE STEERING WILL STICK AT AROUND THE 1100 TO 1000 O'CLOCK POSITION DURING LEFT HAND TURNS ON INTERSTATES. IF LEFT ALONE THE STEERING WILL NOT REALIGN AT THE 12 O'CLOCK POSITION AND VEHICLE WILL CONTINUE TO VEER LEFT . YOU MUST MANUALLY STEER RIGHT PAST A NOTICEABLE DETENT IN THE STEERING PATH TO RETURN THE WHEEL TO CORRECT POSITION. THE LONGER YOU DRIVE THE MORE NOTICEABLE THE STICKING BECOMES AND MORE FORCE IS REQUIRED TO BRING THE WHEEL BACK TO CENTER. AS THE FORCE REQUIREMENT INCREASES THE INCREASE OF OVERCORRECTIONS OCCURS. THIS IS QUICKLY BECOMING VERY DANGEROUS. OF NOTE IS THE FACT THIS WILL NOT OCCUR BELOW HIGHWAY SPEEDS EVEN AFTER TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR 20 MINUTES. ONCE YOU GO BELOW 60 THE MALFUNCTION WILL NOT DUPLICATE. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD ALL REQUIRED RECALL REPAIRS FOR GROUND CABLE PRIOR TO PURCHASE. MAINTENANCE APPOINTMENT WITH DEALER IS SET WITHIN THE WEEK.
