| Steering | 17651.0%ODI 11556468The steering becomes “sticky” at highway speeds. The wheel resists turning until sufficient force is applied, and then slips to a next setting or “notch”, where it further rests until force is applied. The effect is not particularly pronounced at low speeds but very noticeable at regular highway speeds (~60 mph). No great force is required to turn the wheel from one “notch” to the next, but the resistance and continual need for readjusting course (because of the “stuck” steering wheel) are fatiguing over time.
