Hello all - New member (sort of)
I have a few Fiats; both classic and modern. Currently having a strange issue with my 2014 500L Trekking. I say currently, but my wife thinks its been going on almost since new.
I have noticed on some windy roads after driving the car a while, the EPS seems to just change dramatically. Never fails really ,just sort of changes on its own. The steering just goes from a nice firm (low assist) to super easy. Annoying to dangerous depending on my driving style at the time. I also noticed last night at a stop, the wheel sort of feels like it "stutters" in my hand when I put just a tad bit of pressure one direction or the other. It is very mild. My wife however claims the car pulls one way or the other while on road going fast or slow. It can be left or right and not consistent so I don't think it is suspension or tire, etc., Of course at the dealer, the car behaves so no love there.
Anyone else experience the same?
I hope I don't sound like a complainer I have a 2013 Abarth and NEVER experience this EVER and I drive the poop out of that car, track it, autocross, etc.,
Thanks,
Tim
