NHTSA complaint #10638084, filed 2014-09, 65,000 miles“I own a 2001 Honda S2000.

After it warmed up, the steering was much better, but still felt like it was pulsing when I turned the steering wheel hard right or hard left. The same thing occurred this past january when we had very cold weather here in florida. …”
