Description of the problem | Started to hear (and feel) a "clunking" when i turned the steering wheel. I took it to the dealer and was told that a plastic coupling was worn/broken and it will cost $400 to repair (!!) this vehicle has less than 46k miles on it and has never been in an accident or abused and yet.... I'm on the hook to pay for the repairs. I feel that this should be a recall issue. |
