Component | STEERING |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | On warm days (> 75 degrees) and when sitting in hot sun for period of time, steering will stick or feel notchy when driving. While gently turning it feels as if the steering goes through gates and gets hung up when turning. Steering input feels mushy in comparison to cooler days. I have taken to dealer on two occasions and they cannot duplicate. I do not like driving my car on warmer days even though that is when the car is meant to be driven. |
