In owners' own words
While driving steering started pulling to the left or the right. Alignment, outer, inner tie rods, lower and upper ball joints and strut mounts all checked normal. No warning lights or codes. Car goes straight after turning off and back but can suddenly start pulling. Checked for recalls and car vin is not part of campaign number: 15v144000 (steering) which is exactly the problem I'm having this is a safety concern. Steering
The steering becomes unresponsive for a period of time, sometimes pulls one way other times the other way. Then it works fine, this has been happening for several days and is very unpredictable and dangerous when you control of your steering ability. It always happens when in motion, and it's happened both on city streets and highway going at 20 mph and when on highway it seemed to correct it self at 50-60 mph??
