Show complaint excerpts
Steering on the car has become sticky. At highway speeds the wheel does not return to center. Car needs to be frequently adjusted to maintain its course. It was not like this for the first 7500 miles.
NHTSA ODI report, 20231002
When driving at speeds over 40mph and set into a turn the steering wheel sticks into the turn position and requires more force to transition out of the turn. It is very rigid and doesn't smoothly turn as any other car I drive.
NHTSA ODI report, 20230928
Once I rolled 5k miles. Steering began to be sticky. Goes firm then soft then back to firm and so on; no matter what drive mode is selected and it happens at all speeds
