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. Before the local volvo dealer would help I had to bring the notice I received they made adjustments reluctantly-this was at vovol of c learwater. - did not think it w real problem on 9/4/12. Help the safety factor is very real
