Description of the problem | When i received my car from the dealership after having the engine replaced, i noticed a ticking noise when driving over bumps and turning my steering wheel. This noise is getting louder and the steering wheel almost feels loose! After doing some research, i found that a few hundred others had the same issue and had to have the steering coupling replaced! Why isn't there a recall when the dealerships know this is a common issue with this car? I'm nervous driving it! I've been dealing with it for about a year, and today the noise got noticeably louder and the steering is a little looser. I took a video but i'm not sure i can upload it here. |
