“My car is hard to steer when I go around curves on the street of the mountains where I live. It feels as if I could drive right off of the mountain if I don't quickly correct the steering. It is as though it is slipping and accelerating as if I am losing control of the car. It is a frightening feeling as if it is pulling against what I am trying to do, such as turning the steering wheel to make it around curves safely.”Owner report · Steering · Sep 2015

Were found to be within spec. Coil springs were both found broken, and unevenly. One coil was missing more coils than the other.
