WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, ANY SLIGHT TURN OF THE WHEEL STAYS IN RATHER THAN TRACKING BACK TO CENTER. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS IS NORMAL FOR THE ELECTRIC ASSISTED POWER STEERING, HOWEVER I HAVE NOT NOTICED IT IN OTHER ELECTRIC VEHICLES. IT PRESENTS A SERIOUS HAZARD AS MOST IF NOT ALL DRIVERS ARE ACCUSTOMED TO A STEERING WHEEL WHICH TRACKS BACK TO CENTER WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS "BUMPED" SLIGHTLY OR WHEN MAKING A FULL TURN AS IN INTERSECTION TURNS. THE WHEEL IN A 90 DEGREE TURN WILL BEGIN TO TRACK BACK TO CENTER BUT STOPS SHORT OF IT. A POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE ADJUSTMENT WAS DONE BY THE DEALER BUT IT STILL DOES NOT TRACK BACK TO CENTER. YOU MUST MANUALLY TURN THE WHEEL TO GET IT TO STRAIGHTEN OUT. *TR

Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Electrical System:propulsion System
NHTSA received a petition on or about July 18, 2022, requesting that Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 141 be applied to all electric and hybrid vehicles operating in the United States. The petition can be reviewed at NHTSA.gov under ODI Number 11486072. FMVSS 141 establishes performance requirements for pedestrian alert sounds for motor vehicles. The standard applies to hybrid and electric vehicles that have a gross vehicle weight rating of 4,536 KG or less or are defined as low-speed vehicles. The standard became fully applicable to all such vehicles manufactured on or after March 1, 2021.On January 27, 2023, NHTSA opened Defect Petition (DP) 22-005 to evaluate the subject matter described in the petition. On June 24, 2023 and as supplemented on June 25, 2023, the petitioner notified NHTSA he was withdrawing his petition. The petitioner indicated that, based on his review of data, there is no justification for asserting potential benefits that could be derived from actions sought by my petition. Based on the petitioner's withdrawal, DP22-005 is closed. Closure of this DP does not represent a determination by NHTSA regarding the subject matter of the petition.
