My car has a steering quirk. Sometimes it pulls to the right and makes a dinging sound. I took it to the dealer. They said nothing was wrong.

Mine does the same thing. I figure it is what the fella below described…that it is part of the safety features.

Hmmmm… Perhaps it’s time to open the Owner’s Manual, and read what it has to say regarding the car’s safety features.

Some time ago there was a young lady ( her description not mine ) that complained about power loss in her new vehicle . It turned out that after the dealer showed her how to turn off lane assist the problem was solved . She had trouble with lane discipline .
