The steering becomes “sticky” and is resistant to turning both at low and high speeds. This results in situations where significant force must be applied to the wheel to create a direction change. It has resulted in sudden movements after “breaking” the steering wheel free from its “stuck” position in the middle. It even affects driver assist systems, which will also demonstrate difficulty managing a steering wheel that gets “stuck” in the middle. The cold and wet seems to make it worse. However this has been an ongoing problem for the last several thousand miles and is definitely getting worse as the miles go by. I have taken the car to the dealership and was informed this is a known issue with no available repair. Seems to be a substantial safety concern that should warrant a repair.
