Having an issue with my 2014 Lexus Is350 steering. . The steering feels notchy and grabs when going around curves. . It does it when returning wheel back to straight position. . And wheel has to be pulled back into straight position or it will keep pulling . . Thats when it catches and causes the jerk in the steering. . Usually when driving a car it'll somewhat straighten itself smoothly. . I have taken it to repair shops to have alignment/ brakes/rotors done and nothing has helped this what so ever. I've seen many forums about this same issue. . Why hasn't this been addressed . . Its obviously a huge issue that's been ignored. . This car isn't old enough or with 89k miles on it to be experiencing these types of issues. . Thanks in advance for looking into this!!.

The car was driving normally all day on main roads around town until the steering wheel started to feel kind of loose. Than the steering wheel began making a whining noise while turning and sometimes lose the center position and drag one way or the other. It seems like the power steering wants to give up but it catches itself. Braking seems fine and driving at low speeds seems okay until I get up to 30-40 mph. I believe this has to do with the power steering since in this Lexus model it is electric power steering. Feels very unsafe to drive, I'm worried it will loose power steering at a turn and cause an accident.

The Lexus 2006 Is350 has electric power steering problems. The problem caused by defected ecu component. I brought it to Lexus car dealer and they requested $500 just to look at it. It's too expensive. This car company is irresponsible. Dont buy Lexus car!!!! they can't make Lexus steering reliable. Request: Lexus must fix this issue.
When I left my home for work, I of course used my door handle to pull the door shut. I didn't realize that my hand transferred the residue to the wheel. When I made my left turn, I expected my wheel to glide through my hand, as it normally does, when coming out of the corner. Instead, as the wheel slid through my hand it caught the sticky patch and kept my car in a left turn. There was a car immediately next to me but slightly behind me(both lanes make a left) and as I crossed into his lane (completely cutting him off) he slammed on the brakes and hit his horn.
Had ssc 9lc (electric power steering link assembly replacement) performed and the steering feel has been adversely affected, where the on-center steering feel at freeway speeds is vague. Furthermore, when turning the wheel on gradual turns, I feel a non-linear resistance moving from the on-center position to one side or the other. The sensation makes the steering feel disconnected with the wheels, where I'll turn the steering wheel an amount that I feel is appropriate to negotiate the gradual turn, yet the vehicle will continue to track on its original course.
