Description of the problem | With 51,000 miles and just over 3 years on the car, the steering gear box failed with popping noise occurring anytime the steering wheel was turned. Got worse quickly and had to get it fixed. Very expensive but also very scary for my safety. I always take care of my cars and keep them for 7-10 years. |
