Consumer Description

The component in question is the steering assembly. The vehicle which currently has approximately 55,000 miles has started having what I would describe as "sticky steering". The steering wheel does not operate smoothly, instead you have to force it out of a turn or merge. The vehicle issue has been confirmed by my local dealer where we purchased the car new. There are no warning lamps associated with this issue and it has been going on for about a month or so as of today. The recommended repair by the dealer is to replace the steering rack at $4000. To me that would be a questionable repair on a vehicle with twice as many miles as mine. It is definitely a safety issue that I'm sure won't go away on its own. The car has not been involved in an accident that would cause this issue.
