STEERING BECAME STICKY STIFF IN 12 O'CLOCK POSTITION, MAKING STEERING CORRECTIONS DIFFICULT WITH OVERCORRECTING. THERE IS DEFINITELY A PROBLEM THAT COULD BE A SEVER SAFETY HAZARD. I WAS TRAVELING ON I-75 AT 65-70 MPH WHEN MALFUNCTION OCCURRED. I CONTACTED A DEALER IN TAMPA AND THEY DID NOT SEEM TOO CONCERNED, HARD TO COMMUNICATE DUE TO IT BEING A HOLIDAY WEEKEND. THE TAMPA DEALER ADVISED IF THERE WAS A PROBLEM, I WOULD HAVE RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER. I AM CONCERNED, BEING ON VACATION, FOR THE LONG TRIP BACK TO KNOXVILLE. ALSO, I HAVE EXPERIENCED TRANSMISSION SHUTTER AT LOW SPEED, INTERMEDIATE PROBLEM. *TR
