Steering is quite tight at times on slow turns; however, when full speed 0-70, seems the power steering is cutting off and on and sticking. Going around a curve causes the steering to tighten up and it takes massive effort to bring it back center, and sometimes this causes you to over correct which is a safety issue. It's like a sticking sensation in the wheel, pulling. Tires are good, alignment is amazing. None of…

One day after purchasing this car my problem began. Going over speeds of 30mph, if i hit any uneven surfaces or bumps in the road the car just wants to fish tail all over the road. This is a very scary thing to happen especially on the freeway. I constantly have to keep a death grip with both hands on the steering wheel. Just yesterday i nearly had a head on collision after hitting a bumpy part in the road.…

The sport steering is over sensitive which is a hazard. The slightest turn of the steering wheel causes the vehicle to turn abruptly. I have measured that a quick lane change could take place by moving the steering wheel by 1/4 of an inch in either direction. The slightest movement could cause an accident and bodily injury at highway speeds.
