Power steering issues?

Does anyone else seem to have an issue with keeping the car going straight while in lane? Ive driven an 05 tsx and 12 rdx without any problems but my 13 tl shawd seems to be so sensitive while driving. Even a little movement from going over bumps or little dips cause the car to lean towards the other lanes. Ive tried everything from locking both arms while driving to just lightly holding the wheel but it still comes out shaky. I know the steering on these cars is soft but I didnt think it was that sensitive.

That's odd i've experienced the complete opposite. I've actually taken notice at how well it handles at sticks to it's line. I can be going at fairly high speeds and hitting bumps (even while going around turns) and can just hold the wheel at the bottom with a couple fingers and I dont fly around - minimal movement required. I've gotten great confidence in this car and can really relax while I'm driving.

are you running aftermarket wheels and/or tires? if so, post specs

reason I ask is after I went to a smaller tire on my front end, I notice the points you summarized above. before I switched, I didn't have that issue.

As far as tires and wheels goes, everything is stock from what I know. Purchased the vehicle CPO wiyh 11k miles. I doubt the dealership mounted new tires with that kind of mileage.

Does the car have collision damage, especially the front suspensions ?

Alignment been checked? Mine tracks pretty well. In fact, when I take it for an alignment, I jokingly tell them not to do anything to change how it handles, steers and feels.
