The steering wheel is not a smooth transition from 12 O'clock to 1 O'clock or to 11 O'clock. It is as if the pavement is uneven or as if the steering wheel is stuck at 12 O'clock. This is not safe on the highway and especially in the rain. It hasn't snowed yet but I would imagine it is going to very difficult to drive it safely in the snow with this major issue.
