If the steering wanders or pulls, check for:
an improperly inflated tire.
uneven tire wear.
loose or worn suspension components.
loose or worn steering components.

A high crown in the road or high crosswinds may also make the steering

Brake-shift interlock
This vehicle is equipped with a brake-shift interlock feature that prevents
the gearshift lever from being moved from P (Park) when the ignition is
in the on position unless the brake pedal is pressed, your charge cord
may be plugged into the vehicle, or there may be a fault with the
associated electrical system. If this is the case, you must follow the
instructions in your instrument cluster display before your vehicle will
start.
If you cannot move the gearshift lever out of P (Park) with ignition on
and the brake pedal pressed, it is also possible that a fuse has blown or
the vehicle’s brake lamps are not operating properly. Refer to Fuses and
relays in the Roadside Emergencies chapter.
If your charge cord is not connected and there is not a fault with the
associated electrical system, the fuse is not blown and the brake lamps
are working properly, the following procedure will allow you to move the
gearshift lever from P (Park):
1. Apply the parking brake, turn the
ignition key to the off position and
remove the key.
2. Using a screwdriver (or similar tool),
carefully pry off and remove the
passenger side access cover. Remove the
fastener, then remove the console side
panel to expose the inside of the shifter
assembly.
