Consumer Description

When driving for over 15-20 minutes started to noticed my steering begin to become stiff then would being to stick. Found the longer I drove the stiffer it would become, as well if I was going over 55 mpg it would stick more and more. Took it to the Dealership had no error codes and they couldn't find anything. Have taken back to the Dealership after having a private mechanic look at it as well as doing some research and other people having the same issue and they have confirmed the issue being with the Power Steering Assembly(Part # 53650-TVC-A21). This issue is sporadic and gradually gets worse.
