Default Steering/Steering Wheel Too Soft/Light

Hello, I hope you are very well.

I am writing to you because this morning I went to drop my children off at my mother's in the Ct200h and when I was coming back home, starting the march after a traffic light, I suddenly felt the steering being very light or soft, which made me It gave me a feeling that I hadn't felt before. It gave me the impression that the "sensitivity" of the steering increased, but at the same time I felt it more "elastic" or less precise, I don't know how to explain it. But it was that, I don't know if it's something typical of the steering of this car as it's electronic or maybe it's just my arms hahahaha. I'll try it again tomorrow, but if anyone has any ideas, they're most welcome.

Greetings.

I find there to be an obvious difference between modes. Notably, switching from "Normal" to "sport" or back again.

Sport increases the firmness of the steering, whereas Normal does the opposite. Not sure if "Eco" does anything differently than Normal, I would suspect not, but haven't verified this in the user manual. I am pretty sure "Eco" just changes the torque curve to a more linear one...

So, were you playing with the mode selector, by chance? If not, maybe there was something that was just "adjusting" itself, or worst case maybe whatever is happening to modify the firmness is encountering a problem? I am not sure how it works, perhaps it is hydraulic? I don't know anything about the mechanical aspect of that.

If the issue persists I would get it checked out.

Hi how are things. Just to close the topic. It turns out that it was because the compressor that I use for the tires delivered more pressure than it should, added to the wear on the tires. I have replaced them with new ones, and with the correct pressure now everything works normal.

Thanks for the help.
