Component | STEERING |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | Vehicle would run fine in the morning before the day heated up. At noon, the steering wheel would stick and more force than usual had to be applied with both hands to operate the steering wheel. Also, there are times the car will jerk left or right upon breaking. If the road is slightly uneven, you have to be prepared in case the car jerks in any direction. I have tried upgrading the vehicles suspension system to no avail. Makes the car feel unsafe to drive. I love the car, but i would like these issues to be addressed before somebody gets seriously injured or even killed if it hasn't happened already. |
