Rack and pinion needs to be replaced. This problem started directly after 40,000 mile tune up at dealer. I have heard stories of other people with same problem of wheel sticking when turning. Feels like rack is not aligned with rack and pinion. Have heard of one instance where steering went completely out. Please correct this problem so mylself and other are not in danger of loosing steering while driving.
