I bought the car last year in may and I noticed the steering wheel would get stiff when i would go 65mph after driving for 30mins. As I drive it’s lock a little bit and when I move it, it makes me swerve, it drive fine in the streets but in the freeway I have difficulty keeping it straight and it’s not the alignment, any suggestions guy online told me it might be the module ecu or steering.
Yep, been dealing with that notchiness for a long time, although I’m usually in the 80-85 range when it occurs, so useful to know it also happens at lower speeds.
I recall there was a thread where the owner got rid of the problem by replacing the steering rack.
You could try complaining to a dealership about this. Not sure if an ECU reset (via disconnecting the battery) would do anything since it seems to be related to the steering rack hardware, but maybe worth a shot.
This isn't a fault. It is a design in the system. I am trying to find the threads on this but I went through searching after trying to figure out what was wrong with with mine.

Notchiness cannot be intentional by design. Frankly, I find it dangerous. Having to jerk the wheel at 85mph to do a minor course correction, could result in disaster.
