Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: While making a turn, the steering in my 1996 buick regal became very stiff and would not return to neutral. it has only been two days now that this has happened, but it's dangerous, as it gives no warning. the turn almost put me into a tree! it happened today but i was more aware that it might happen and alert for it. my 1995 century had the same problem and it was that the steering rack gets tight in colder weather and after 75000 miles! *nm
