After getting past the friction point, the steering is normal but will soon gain the friction point back. On highway ramps, the steering will hold the turn wit

This is most noticeable when driving on a long, straight stretch of freeway requiring minor adjustments to keep the car centered. The steering will stick when att

- • Was driving at 75 to 80 mph speeds on interstate, and had approximately 4 to 5 seconds (400 feet+ at 75 mph) of clearance ahead of me before the next car. I had cruise control enabled and the adaptive cruise control was on the closest setting. Weather was clear and sunny and there were no visibilit

Keeping straight in a lane without jerking an overcorrection can cause concern. This is also adding to hand/wrist fatigue ov

- • There is a separation from the windshield and the A frame on the drivers side. The car has been in multiple times and the service department cannot fix the problem because they claim it is a manufacturers defect.

While the immediate thought might be that I stalled or the auto stop/start engaged, that's not the case here. The car completely shuts off. Almost like a hard reset, the engine dies, and the ele

It's been 8 months since I bought it, it's close to 10k miles and it was a week ago that it suddenly started to turn off completely as if it were like hard reset. It has already happened to me 7 times. Sometimes he doesn't want to turn back on quick so I have to
- • The steering malfunctions consistently while driving and occasionally while parked. The wheel forces itself to jerk back and forth every few seconds and sticks as it does so causing the driver to fight the opposite direction. When parked the wheel still does the same thing after driving. In addit
