Steering wheel is stiffer and harder to maintain when going around a long curve. The wheel slips out of driver's hand.

Steerings column has somtehing loose inside it. Can feel clunk in steering on initial acceleration, on broken pavement, and when coming to a stop. Can also feel the clunk through the brake pedal. There is no doubt, something is loose in the column. I am concerned about vehicle being safe to drive.
