The steering on my Avensis seems jumpy!

The steering on my 2010 Toyota Avensis Aura seems jumpy and light. What's wrong?

Hi David,

It's difficult to assess such problems from afar, but it certainly sounds like your power steering system has an issue and you really should bring it to good mechanic sooner rather than later to have it looked at and rectified. If the power steering fails while you are driving it could become very heavy, making the car difficult to control.
