Consumer Description

Issue: Sticky or catching steering. I am having an issue with the steering sticking or catching when I make small turns with the steering wheel. It seems to be worse with turns less than 45° then complete 90° turns. It also seems to catch with smaller right turns then left turns. The steering seems to catch or stick with turns that are less than 45° or subtle adjustments to keep the car in the lane. I am concerned that at some point my wife or I will not be able to apply enough force to overcome the catch or sticking of the steering which will result in a crash, injury or death. The issue has become worse in the last few months and seems to be constant.
