I'm having an issue that's been bugging me for the past several weeks:

My car feels like an SUV and I'm not able to find a shop that can tell me what's wrong.

Symptoms:

There is little to no resistance while turning the steering wheel.

The card does not feel stable at highways speeds, I'm constantly making minor corrections to keep the car straight.

The car feels like it's 'wobbling' at highway speeds.

The S-AWC display shows activity now from simply turning into a parking spot.


I've gone into a few shops in the area and had wheels, tires and suspension looked at.
None can find any issue.

What the hell's going on? The car is not enjoyable to drive at the moment :/


Video of AYC gauge:

 

problem with the tires maybe? What kind are they and how old are they? Also when is the last time you had an alignment?

 

Maybe a broken or badly bent front swaybar endlink? Are you on the stock suspension?

 

Tires are Michelin pilot super sports.

They have about 4k on them.

Thy appear ok visually (no unusual wear / odd wear).

Had an alignment done the moment I noticed the issue. No help.

 

Suspension is completely stock. I haven't hit anything and the problem literally appeared out of no where.

I almost hit a concrete divider today when I had to suddenly brake because the car wobbled like crazy!

 

When is the last time you got an alignment? What are your tire pressures?

 

Alignment performed about 3 weeks ago.

35 PSI all around.

 

what are the alignment specs?

 

AWC fluid good? I had a similar problem, only difference is my AWC maintenance light was coming on, filled the reservoir and it was good.

 

Maybe the belts in your tires are broken. Had same issue on different car, needed four new tires. Issue fixed. I tried everything else beforehand.

 

I'm assuming withing factory since I didn't specify to the dealership.

 

No service light, but after letting the car cool off, the AYC fluid level is sitting above the max line.

 

Ill get out and double check for that tomorrow, thanks for the input. I'd hope one of the 3 *******ed tire shops I've had look at them would tell me that if that were the case XX

 

I would request a print out of the alignment specs, and then maybe post it to here for us to see. There are many ways the alignment can make the car feel twitchy at highway speeds. Of course it could be bad tires. I doubt there is any problem with the ayc/awd system.

 

I hope not!
