It loosens up as you drive. It will randomly get a bit stiff when…

The power steering is not suitable for highway speeds of over 50 mph. This steering is so sensitive at highway speeds that it requires 150% concentration and effort to keep the steering straight. Natural wind, wind produced by cars, small bumps on the roads, concrete separating lines...anything and everything will cause this car to shift direction to the sides in the highway. It was simply poorly designed and not…
