Consumer Description

The steering requires different amounts of pressure to turn the wheels. The steering wheel is stiff in the center then breaks free making it hard to control. Mechanic says it needs a new steering gear ( rack and pinion). This car has less than 50k miles and after a google search this seems to be a common problem and some have been recalled but not mine, yet.
