Component | STEERING |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | Vehicle momentarily steered to right without driver input. Vehicle was going straight on interstate at approx. 70 mph and pulled to right for approx. One second, then went back to normal. Happened approximately seven times on 110 mile drive. We (wife and i) were just fortunate that no one was near us in right lane when these anomalies occurred. Took vehicle to dealer and dealer put approx. 100 more miles on vehicle and could not duplicate problem. Dealer checked alignment and it was within specifications. Have researched online and found vehicles with jtekt eps system having similar steering anomalies. Concerned that steering input not controlled by driver can cause vehicle accident at highway speed. This is a potential "catastrophic" safety issue, so please investigate. |
