So i noticed that my car stutters or does the shimmy when i turn my wheel all the way to the left or the right. When i mean by stutter is the motion is like a manual car about to stall. It does this in drive and reverse. It only does it when my wheel is turned ALL THE way.. but drives normal when taking a turn. Any ideas?

There is a TISB or recall for the steering rack ... you might want to check with your dealer to get it done.

if you do this TISB will you need to get an alignment?

Does it happen on all surfaces? I noticed my car does that sometimes , but usually on really really smooth surfaces.

Did u notice this before? or is it a new thing?

i have the same problem, but i;ve also had my steering rack replaced after it failed and was fixed for free on recall, so wondering why they did not fix this aswel

Ours does this too but I only notice it a very slow speeds like pulling out of the driveway.

I just chalked it up to low profile tires and camber

I hit a huge pothole not long ago and bent my wheel slightly. Mine now exhibits the same symptoms as you're describing while I'm moving forward or backward at a slow speed have the wheel turned lock to lock. Dealer said it was indicative of a bent wheel.

Pretty new. Never noticed my last 35k miles.

I hit a pothole pretty hard this one time also, maybe it bent the wheel along with suspension parts.

Can't be low pros and camber. I had that since my first tire change and lowered my car. Nothing.
