WKM Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 My new 2009 IS350 is a great ride but the steering is driving me nuts... On winding roads and long sweeping turns the steering system seems at first not to react to small adjustments, then "over-react", giving a bit too much boost. Almost feels like an electric steering system waiting for a signal from the steering wheel, then getting the signal and moving the wheels too slowly. Can also feel a bit like tires are following ruts in the road. Anyone else have this issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a "chore" to drive it and keep it on the road. I'm a "thumb" driver - keeping a light finger on the wheel when i'm driving highway, but this car veers from side to side as the road slopes slightly in one direction or another. I've never had a car like it. I'm wondering if it's because it's so low and hugs the road. Anyway, not my idea of a "fun" drive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick07 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Check with your dealer ABOUT the recall notices for the electric steering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
