Description of the problem | This problem is intermittent. It usually happens on straightaways. I notice it usually on roads not in the city. It is as if the steering locks up and you have to force it with both hands to get it to unlock. The pattern cannot be repeated. I took this problem to the dealership once and the mechanic said he "tweaked" it. However, it started happening again. The dealership said that they haven't had any complaints. This has happend on multiple dates and i don't have them listed but had to put a date to log this problem. |
