Hey all, first time poster, long time lurker.
Hoping to get y'all opinion on something that's been irking me.

My steering on my RVR has always felt a bit weird - I know it has an electronic steering system, was built of the lancer chassic, etc. but there is still something I just can't figure out.

To me it seems that the steering has no dampening whatsoever going over bumps at a low, low speed. The best example I can provide is that the steering feels simialar to the steering of a riding mower - where if you aren't holding the wheel tight, and you go over a bump, it will want to straighten the wheels to that bump as much as possible. I've driven a ton of other cars and have never had it this bad before.

For example, if I am driving down a road and need to turn RIGHT into a parking lot that has a slight curb to it (and the curb is not PERFECTLY smooth like a ramp) as I turn my wheel right to drive on an angle over the curb the steering will try to jerk to the right to straighten the wheel to the curb - no dampening -- If I hold the wheel REALLY tight, it minimizes the effect but I still feel like I'm fighting it..

What I want to know...is this normal? If not, what can I do or recommend to the dealer to correct the issue? Has anyone else experienced this - I only have 8000km on the vehicle and haven't driven it on anything less then semi-smooth roads the entire time.

Thanks for reading and any input that is provided!
