Has anyone else notice stiff or sticky steering while on a twisty road? Feels like my old truck when the steering shaft was seizing up.

i have not but i have read of others feeling it. i wonder if the electric ps pump gets hot or something and overheats? there is a cooler, i believe, but it may not be enough in some situations?

Every once and a while I notice it on my '24 XLT. For me I tend to notice it more on the highway, almost like the lane keep is on even though it isn't (at least it isn't supposed to be).

Do you have lane centering on? Maybe your fighting it.

No,I wish it was something easy like that. I read online it may have something to do with the 2.7 engine being heavier
