NHTSA complaint #11342596, filed 2020-07, 93,008 miles“I was driving on roadway at about 40-45 MPH. I tried to turn into wawa parking lot. When turning into parking lot, noticed steering was very difficult. I stopped in parking lot but couldnt turn into parking space. Truck drives but is nearly impossible to steer under slow driving(under 40 miles per hour). Once going over 40 MPH, truck is a little easier to steer but not anywhere near how it was prior to steering failure.”
