Owner complaint summary

Key Issues & Symptoms Sticky/Resistant Steering: The primary symptom is the steering wheel feeling like it "sticks" or requires extra force to move from the center position, especially when driving straight on the highway, creating a dangerous lurch or jerkiness when trying to change lanes. Knocking Noises: Some owners report a knocking or metal-on-metal sound from the steering, even after initial recall service. Steering Instability: After repairs, some vehicles still suffer from significant alignment issues (caster/camber imbalance) that affect handling and cornering stability.
