Start with a fluid check, and report back so one of the experts can help you if needed. But it'd help a lot if you can duplicate it, especially if you need to take it to a dealer; otherwise you'd be most likely wasting your time. Drive your car with servotronic on then off, and slow down on curves like you described above, etc. Good luck.

Thanks Elp
I just had my 1,200 mile service done, I would assume the power steering fluid level is okay. I've never heard any pump noises or any strange noises.
What is the servotronic valve?
I can get this to duplicate as the tightness/loosness is inconsistent. Coming home yesterday I was driving straight at approx. 20mph turning the wheel to the left and then right, repeating that motion at a 15-20mph pace. Sometimes the turns felt loose other times they got tighter.
