Consumer Description
THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE SPEED SENSITIVE STEERING "OSCILATES" BETWEEN LOW-EFFORT & HIGH-EFFORT WHEN DRIVING THROUGH A CURVE. MAKES VEHICLE TRICKY TO CONTROL. ALSO EXHIBITS INTERMITTENT PULLING TO EITHER SIDE THAT HAS NOT BEEN ELIMINATED BY THOROUGH FRONT-END MAINTENANCE. OTHERS WITH LIKE VEHICLES REPORT SAME PROBLEMS.
