Description of the problem | While making a hard right turn front tires very difficult to turn very resistant. Front tires felt like being drug across the pavement. Problem became more frequent in both turning directions. Took it to dealership to find out it is a common problem with this vehicle (others complaining of this online). Steering racket cracked and fluid leaking on right internal in bellows. "internal problem with steering gear". I was told this wasn't recalled because it is not a safety issue, basically some one has to die! Excuse me, i drive on the country's most dangerous highway, us 50 over echo summit at least once/twice per month. What if this failed? How is a steering problem not a safety issue? I took the suv in before we were killed! |
