When I place my GS in reverse to back out of a parking space, and turn the steering wheel sharply to the right or left, it feels as if the front wheels are rotating at a slower rate and are thus getting hung up on the surface street. Difficult to explain, but does not feel normal. The dealer of course said this is normal, but i can't believe how this could be. Anyone else have the same issue?

 

Hard to understand but could you possibly drive another GS AWD to compare?

 

its normal, I'm guessing it when you have turned your steering wheel all the way to the right or left its just moves slower, thats normal, you would know if it was rubbing, but yeah its normal don't worry about it.

 

Mine does same thing. It's normal. You can feel it very clearly when there is some sand or small rocks on the pavement.
