steering - hard to turn right, turns left on its own.
I see multiple threads of power steering issues but mine doesn't seem to fit them. Its been doing this for over a year, pushing 2 years. Usually after sitting (overnight or for a while) the wheel is hard to turn to the right. Then, it will turn to the left on its own. Its not out of control, it like studders its way back from right to left. If you grab the wheel it stops. Its starting to get worse where its hard to turn for a while (after warm up, while driving). I feel its getting dangerous and need to address the issue now. Any ideas where to start looking?

seems to be the same issue, would this mean a rack replacement?

Search the thread or click on this link: Electric Power Steering Failure. You'll find your answer there, if it's not the harness then it's the module.

im afraid to let the dealer diagnose it, I keep hearing horror stories of them saying its this and that and nothing actually fixing it.

When I got my 8, it was doing this exact same thing. It completely went away when I bought snow tires. When I looked at the rear left tire, i realized why it had been doing that. It was completely bald.
I think in some way, it is trying to compensate for a bad tire, or at least a tire that isn't as grippy as another. Not very technical i know, but that is what was happening to me.
