Steering column creaks and sticks. at times it does not return to the neutral position. one of the people who serviced my car for tires today almost hit a retaining post due to this issue. i have also experienced the sticking of the steering in one position and had to forcibly return the steering wheel to the neutral position. i am not feeling safe in this vehicle and know that this issue is impacting the value of the vehicle.
