While driving (vehicle in motion) the steering wheel seems to stick requiring me to exert extra force to "break" it loose in order to keep the car traveling in a straight line. I know it isn't mechanical stearing like i'm used to but the servo motor seems to prevent me from turning the wheel when i need to correct. I continuously have to overcorrect for the sticking/notchy steering. Very annoying and tiring and…

Currently 42k miles, "sticky steering wheel" or "zig-zag" problem started about 10k miles ago. Dealer service techs i've dealt with seem to have never heard of this problem. After verifying that my daughter was really experiencing the zig-zag problem, i lifted the front of her car so that both front wheels were off the ground. With the engine not running, slowly turning the steering wheel right and left would reveal…

Sticky steering wheel when traveling on straight roadways and highways above 40 mph. I noticed a slight stick to the steering wheel while traveling on the freeway or on a straight road above 40 mph. This problem started at 15,000 miles. The steering wheel tends to stick when trying to track straight which causes me to consistently swerve while trying to correct. We took it to the dealership where they were able to…

While going down the interstate, the steering became very difficult to control. It was if the power steering had disappeared. Very scary. Unfortunately, this is an ongoing issue. Since that time it has happened repeatedly. Went to the dealership in savannah georgia, they were not very responsive. Going to make an appointment to have this fixed. A google search indicated there are others this happened to as well.

While driving on the highway at speeds over 50 mph, the vehicle drifts to the left and right. I have to over correct the steering and force the vehicle to stay straight. The dealer performed an alignment. However; it did not correct the issue. I'm afraid for our safety.

As you turn the steering wheel left to right and right to left trying to maintain lane it feels like the steering wheel catches each time you slightly turn the steering wheel and causes you to over correct making it difficult to maintain lane. Feel it is a safety issue, especially at highway speeds. There have…

After about 30 minutes of driving at or near highway speeds the steering becomes "sticky" and requires the driver "break" the "stuck" steering wheel and it results in a forced overcorrection that makes the vehicle drift from one side of the lane to the other. This is continuous problem once it begins as constant steering input is required to keep a vehicle in a straight line. At a minimum, it is annoying and…
