Okay my problem is that during idle my steering wheel will shake from left to right.Also when im driving the steering wheel seems to want to lock up,like if someone has taken over the wheel.I read on the internet about problems people are having with this but no recall yet.Most say its the steering module.No mechanic can check it out til Monday.Is it still safe to drive cause i have too.

    If you are having steering problems, get a ride from someone, this could cause an accident and you could get hurt or hurt some on else.

    I had the same issue , and as it turns out I just replace the sway bar links and the shaking stopped, then I had to replace , struts, and ball joints and the rest of the links, It seems that the traction control module detects the problem with the suspension and shuts it self off, nothing big or any lock will happen but it is scarry and itwill be costly.
