Recall 21V-619: Latches/Locks/Linkages

Steering · at 38,000 miles · reported Mar 19, 2021

I've owned my 2017 azera since dec 2018. I love the vehicle but the steering sticks as mentioned in other complaints at high speeds. The vehicle currently only has 38k miles and I use it for the most part on the highway. This seems to only happen at speeds over 55mph. You have to give the steering a slight jerk to get it to go back. Doesn't matter if it's right or left.

The steering doesn't respond when I try to make minor adjustments driving down the highway and feels as if it's locked in place. It will eventually "give" with a jerking motion. My car has approximately 8500 miles and I did not notice this issue when I purchased it new and don't remember exactly when it started but it happens…
