In owners' own words
Steering wheel feels âstickyâ, I rented this car from Flexcar. Now Iâm without a car, because on the 5th day of driving this car the steering wheel got stuck and almost caused an accident. They are inspecting the car now, but they told me the ârecall was already repairedâ however: Iâm had the EXACT same problem as the recall. This recall with the steering wheel is NOT fixed. This car is NOT safe to drive. Steering
Description of the issue: While driving, the steering wheel suddenly develops a significantly increased resistance. This resistance can only be overcome by applying noticeably higher force. The steering feels as if it is âstickingâ or momentarily binding. Driving conditions where the issue occurs: - Frequently on highways - Also on rural roads - Occurs both while cornering and while driving straight ahead Steering
My vehicle has already had recall remedy for 24V-022, still experiencing "notchy" steering (momentary increase in steering effort). Mid corner the steering wheel locks into place, I can let my hands off the wheel and the steering wheel maintains the steering angle, I have to forcibly move it out of the lock to either increase or decrease turning radius. This is a recurring issue every time I drive the vehicle. Steering
