Generally when driving a a slow speed and truing a corner the vehicle will suddenly speed up to about 15 miles per hour. Over the last 2.5 hears this has happened about 30 times.

Owner report 11663302 · 2025-05-28 (May 28, 2025)
The steering does not return to center at lower speeds. This appears to be a very common problem affecting these cars after about 40k miles due to faulty part. Repair can cost $3k. Worried that the steering could lock up and cause an accident. My wife didn't even notice until I drove her car and brought it up. Some people could be driving for years without knowing.
