Consumer Description

WHEN DRIVING AT SPEEDS OVER 45 MPH THE STEERING FEELS AS IF IT "LOCKS" IN THE CENTER POSITION DRIVING STRAIGHT. NOT THAT IT IS STIFFER TO TO TURN BUT "LOCKS' IN THE CENTER POSITION. YOU MUST USE MORE FORCE TO GET PAST THIS "LOCK" OR NULL POSITION. THIS IS NOT SPEED SENSITIVE STEERING! THIS SEEMS ONLY TO HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT AND TRYING TO MAKE SMALL INPUT STEERING CORRECTIONS. WHEN USING MORE FORCE TO GET PAST THE LOCK POSITION YOU CAN TEND TO OVER STEER, WHICH CAN BE DANGEROUS. *JS
