Steering Wheel Shudder
Hi everyone!
I'm brand new here. Just got my RTL-S/R yesterday and don't have but 30 miles on it! WOOHOO!
Been reading through some of the forums here and they've been VERY helpful on quite a few things.
So here's my issue; The steering wheel shuddering or chattering, you might say, when I enter tight turns. It's fairly mild most of the time, and only becomes pronounced when I turn the the steering wheel fast, or when I hold it over in a continuous turn (like when making a u-turn, or when going in a tight circle).
I took it back to my Sales guy (who worked as a Parts Manager at this Honda Dealership for years) and we took it for a test spin, and he said it's the computer-controlled stability sensors? Something to do with the computer wanting to "straighten out" the turn? Anyone else experience this phenomenon? Or is my Sales guy day-dreaming?
I would think that if this issue was other than what the Sales guy is saying it is, that the Dealership would want to fix things like this because Honda pays them too, and they'd jump at the chance to make a buck...but am I wrong about that?
Also, on another note; About half the time I notice a slight hesitation on the part of the truck to accelerate from a dead stop...wondering if this will go away after the break-in??
BTW: I think it's human nature to speak out about what you DON'T like verus what you do, but I bought this truck for a couple million reasons over the competition's, so in all fairness, I will say that I am loving my SUT so far!!...................................of course, then again, I only have 30 miles on it, LOL.
Your input is greatly appreciated!!
EDIT:
I should also clarify that this "shudder" or chattering is NOT a result of me holding the wheel all the way over to the stopping point of its turn radius.
