When turning at speed - you can feel noticeable play/lag as your holding the steering wheel. At slower speed, the wheel becomes slightly heavier to turn but reverts back at turn from complete stop - wheel return to center is extremely delayed if none at all requiring you to bring it back to center. When parking - almost if not total loss of powers steering.

I've also had a close call getting into an accident while making a u-turn due to the steering being nearly impossible…

I was informed by the dealership of a tsb regarding the powering steering pump/line. Apparently due to a design flaw by…
