Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | Despite the fixed recall of the steering coupler, this vehicle makes a steering cluck noise when turning which can be felt in the steering wheel. This especially occurs when first driving the vehicle. While under warranty the dealership reported either the sound was normal or they could not reproduce it. Now that it is out of warranty, the dealership says that the steering column needs to be replaced at my expense. A quick search shows that even after the steering coupling recall, this is a very common problem which can cause accidents. |
