STEERING | |||

On a frequent basis when traveling at highway speed on straight, non-crowned pavement the vehicle will drift to the left suddenly without any input from the steering wheel. the vehicle must be continually corrected through the steering wheel to maintain a lane. at time a notch feel appears at the 12 o'clock position on the wheel that makes it almost impossible to maintain a straight direction without constantly adjusting the wheel from right to left. on two occurrences the wheel jerked to center uncontrolled. turning the car off and back on will reset the issue and the occurrences are random but frequent. if at the time of the occurrence a vehicle was occupying the adjoining lane an accident would occur. on researching this issue it appear in numerous forums affecting audi 2013 models with new electromechanical steering systems. | |||

When driving straight, there appears to be a noticeable notch in the steering. the wheel will have a tendency to want to stray from this notch as if rolling off a bump. it is not always as noticeable. at it's worst it feels awkward to keep the vehicle travelling straight. | |||

There is a notchiness feeling in the steering wheel. this is especially seen at highway speeds and makes the car hard to keep straight. | |||

Steering is very imprecise and has a notchiness effect. when i'm going down a highway straight, i have a difficult time keeping it straight. it feels unsafe when i'm going on a curve at highway speeds since the steering wheel may shift. confirmed by dealership nothing is wrong with steering and alignment, but steering of the vehicle seems to have issues. |
