UNABLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL UNLESS EXTRA FORCE IS USED. MUST MAKE 2 OR 3 ATEMPS TO TURN WHEELS INORDER TO PARK CAR VERTICALLY OR MAKE A U-TURN. VERY DANGEROUS . IT DOES NOT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE WHERE ON WHERE I AM, FROM AN ALMOST STANDING OR VERY SLOW DRIVING IT IS A MAJOR DANGER. TCITY STREET, DRIVEWAY, HIGHWAY THE SAME THING HAPPENS EVEN PULLING INTO AND OUR OF DIAGNOL PARKING SPACES. I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO DO WHAT YOU ARE ASKING.......THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM SENT TO ME BUT NOT THE DEALERS.
