The steering has a sticky spot in it which you have to pull to get out of which makes you swerve the car to do so. It pulls to the right or the left. It makes it really hard to stay on the road. It "road walks" badly. I have seen many complaints for this year model. I believe it is the vsm on the vehicle. I believe it is very dangerous I am going to end up in a wreck trying to hold the car on the road.

Vehicle suddenly became difficult to steer, especially at low speeds and when braking, just left and right of center. Feels as if the power assist is either failing or resisting - requires undue effort to turn the wheel. The problem continued and dealership replaced the steering column and the eps unit. Problem was not resolved, but now dealership service dept. States that even though it is a common complaint they hear about this car, and that the manufacturer is aware of it, it is "normal" for this model. They claim that there is nothing wrong with the steering, and that it is not dangerous. However, I am afraid it is potentially quite dangerous.
