NHTSA Complaint #11489058 — 2017 CHRYSLER PACIFICA

Steering "sticks". When going around a slight curve the steering seems to get stuck in a certain position (usually approximately the 10:30 and 1:30 position depending on if curve is to the right or left). When straightening out the direction of the car, one has to "unstick" the position the steering wheel is stuck in by applying addition force to the steering wheel. This additional force could easily lead to an accident possibly causing one to cross over the line and hit an oncoming vehicle, crash into a car in the lane beside them, or go off the road. The problem is intermittent and mechanics have not be able to reproduce while testing. There are no warning lamps, messages or other indicators that this is going to happen or something needs tended to. This issue seems to be right in line with what many others have shared regarding their steering wheel "sticking" when navigating a curve.
