   What sense does it make to issue recalls on cars and then there are no parts available to repair the vehicle. When you contact manufacture to get car repaired. There are not parts available nor can they tell you when they may even have. So okay I have an issue with my car but no idea when it can be repaired. This is 2nd recall for my car last one my steering rack had failed. That one too no one could tell me when part would even come. I had to wait 6 months to even get it…

5. Filed Sep 21, 2024SCSteering

   A few months ago this started. Power steering is sticky, at highway speeds the steering wheel can be turned at a 45 degree angle and stick. at one point i can take my hands off the wheel and it will not return to center at highway speeds. Starts sticking at 20+ MPH and requires small increments to unstick the steering wheel.

6. Filed Aug 24, 2024FLSteering

   I am also experiencing the issue described in NHTSA action number EA23003. The steering is "sticky" leading to ever-changing steering effort. At times, so much force has to be applied that overcorrection occurs. It decreases the safety margin when driving and applying corrective steering to prevent lane departure or collision. I have luckily not had any accident occur as of yet, but I can easily imagine it contributing to a collision if and when the margin for an accident is…

8. Filed May 23, 2024TNSteering

   When driving at hwy/interstate speeds the cars steering wheel has a catch or stiff spot. This happens when the wheel stays in the same place for a second or two. This happens while driving straight and making micro corrections to keep the car in the lane. It also happens while driving into a curve it turns smoothly into the curve but once you hold the wheel in the curve for a second and then try straighten the wheel it hits the resistance. I have found I need to do 1 of 2…
