I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR. THE PROBLEM HAPPENS AFTER YOU'VE BEEN DRIVING FOR A BIT ON THE HIGHWAY. THE STEERING STARTS TO STICK AND IT TAKES A BIT OF EFFORT TO TURN (LIKE IT'S STUCK) AND WHEN YOU DO END UP TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL, YOU OVERCORRECT. THIS IS EXTREMELY AGGRAVATING AND DOESN'T FEEL SAFE. ALSO, THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HONDA'S "LANE KEEP ASSIST." THIS PROBLEM DID NOT HAPPEN AFTER A 5 OR 10 MINUTE TEST DRIVE, OR I WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT THE CAR. WHERE I LIVE IT'S FAIRLY HOT, SO HEAT MAY PLAY A FACTOR INTO THIS. THE PROBLEMS SEEMS MORE PRONOUNCED THE FASTER YOU GO. DEFINITELY MORE OF AN ISSUE DURING HIGHWAY DRIVING.
