MY CLUTCH PEDAL CRACKED IT'S AT THE SHOP AND JUST GOT DIAGNOSED THAT IT'S CRACKED ON THE CLUTCH PEDAL ASSEMBLY NEAR THE FIRE WALL. JUST GOT OFF THE FREEWAY WAS SLOWING DOWN TO A STOP PUSHED MY CLUTCH PEDAL IN AND HEARD A CRACK POP SOUND THEN HAD LOT OF PLAY IN MY PEDAL

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, TURNING AND SOMETIMES STATIONARY, THE STEERING WHEEL JERKS TURNING TO THE RIGHT WHEN AT FULL LOCK AND IS SOMETIMES VERY HARD TO STEER IN BOTH DIRECTIONS. APPLYING BRAKE PRESSURE AND RELEASING DOES NOT AFFECT IT. I BELIEVE THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING RACK IS THE CAUSE OF THE ISSUE.
