The steering hangs or sticks. It started a couple years ago and was reported to the dealer where it was purchased. I was told it does that. It started doing this around 50 to 70 when first noticed and now does it at all speeds. When it first started it would come and go away slightly but never completely. Now it is all the time and any speed. At highway speeds it makes the vehicle steer slightly from side to side in the lane since you can't make slight steering corrections. When trying to make steering corrections the steering will stick or hang and then release abruptly causing the vehicle to move slightly back and forth in the lane. At times it is bad enough to resemble a very drunk driver over correcting. It is bad enough that we don't feel safe driving the vehicle and it only has 30,000 miles on it. It's a shame Fiat/Chrysler won't acknowledge there is a problem. We have had a few close calls but no accident yet due to this problem. Also the problem will occur anywhere at any speed except turning. It seems to happen mostly when going straight. When in a turn as long as the steering wheel is in motion it doesn't hang but if it stops and you start to turn further or go back it will hang again. Please look into this before someone does get hurt.
