I think I'm going to do that. The dealer can't figure it out and now wants me to take the mechanic for a ride. Did some quick research and I've found one complaint on this very problem at NHTSA's web site

I owe the forum a follow up on this.

It took 6 trips to the dealer, but "Ask the Mechanic" crossedflags.com figured it out. It was a steering wheel position sensor. The car never threw a code despite the anomalous data coming from the SWPS.


I was so concerned I filed a complaint with NHTSA

http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/p...laintsearch.cfm

Complaint #10124963.

Someone else has filed a similar complaint under #757075.

Thanks for the report. That's a courtesy that is appreciated and not always extended.

Happy you tracked it down. Persistence pays off.
