RLX

  • 80,000 miles
When I make a left turn, my wheels and steering wheel get out of sync and this causes the car to temporarily become hard to steer. At this point, the car doesn't respond to normal steering gestures. It feels as if the car is going to veer out of the lane and it doesn't respond for me to correct it from veering off unless I turn the steering wheel completely towards the left hand traffic which is very unusual and very scary. When to correct itself, the car jerks itself as the steering wheel and tires re-allign themselves. This makes the car swerve towards the other lane and I then have to violently turn the steering wheel with the opposite way to regain control of the car. Just seem to only happen when I make left turns. The deeper the left turn the more noticeable it is. I have not seem to notice it when I make right turns. This seems to be wearing out the tread on the left rear tire. I am not sure if this is a problem with the steering, the all-wheel steering or computer calculations. I'm going to take it to you looked at this week. This just became more noticeable this past week. Priority is I assumed that there were some imperfections on the street that causes this like a small sinkhole or an uneven section of the road. I've owned two tls, and I own a rl and this Rlx, and I have never experienced this issue or anything like this.
