| Description of the problem | One week ago left work and turned on truck. When starting to pull out of parking space abs light came on dash. After getting home and calling dealer to have inspection, was informed it would be 2 weeks to get in for service. As vehicle is daily driver continued to drive around town and to work, a few days after regular use steering column started getting harder to turn and developed clicking sound. Called another mechanic to get in sooner and before could make that appointment scheduled for two days later entire steering column locked up and vehicle is unusable. Being towed to repair shop today. Luckily was not driving when column locked up. Had started vehicle in driveway and was planning on going to store when unable to back up because steering columns/wheel would not move. Now awaiting work from repair shop on doagnsostics and issue to repair. Very frustrated as vehicle less than 3 years old and with only 70k miles. |
