“Steering is locking up/becomes hard to turn while driving. This almost cause me to crash as I could not turn easily in an intersection. I recently had the car serviced (in the last month) regarding a heater recall. About 3 weeks later this problem started to occur out of the blue. No warning lights have come on.”
NHTSA complaint #11080918, filed 2018-03, 25,000 miles“I noticed the steering started getting hard to turn. I took to Audi dealer they said it was fine. I said not I know my car. On the highway 2 weeks later entering a curve at high MPH the car wouldn't turn. I tapped brakes several times and finally with 2 hands I could turn around curve. Very scary and barely made turn. I proceeded to home but at a turn I started the turn and the steering again stiffened so hard it sent me towards the crosswalk and luckily the brakes stopped me inches from hitting a boy on his bike. I kept hitting brakes and finally the wheel released the tension. …”
NHTSA complaint #11190884, filed 2019-03, 97,000 miles“Steering shaft is faulty. When driving this car, especially at high speeds, the steering is extremely unpredictable. At lower speeds, the steering is notchy, you can't seem to find center and constantly have to adjust the steering wheel to remain straight on the road. This happens while moving, on city streets and highways.”
