From time to time, usually during a gradual bend in the road going left, my steering seems to hang up momentarily. Some times it will happen changing lanes gradually. Never notice anything when making sharper/harder turns and happens pretty infrequently, certainly not every day. It's like it gets stuck slightly and takes a little extra force to get it over rather than a smooth linear rotation on the wheel. Never felt dangerous, but my kid was driving the other day and made the comment that it had happened a number of times during our trip so I know it's not just my imagination.

Anyone else ever experience this?

There is a whole thread on this. It's pretty common. Do a quick search

I had this as well. It seems to have worked itself out. Either that or I'm used to it!

Initially I felt bad that I didn't to a search first but considering that I check the forum on a daily basis didn't figure I would have missed this. I just did a 'quick' search for "steering" in the title and didn't find any subjects that appeared remotely related. You could at least throw a guy a bone and suggest what I should search for if your aware of a thread on this common problem? I'd actually appreciate that!

I had this problem too. I took it in to the dealer, but they could not recreate. They replaced the steering rack anyway...said there was a TSB. It took about 5 hours to do the job.
