Description of the problem | Steering wheel sticking while driving at any speed. I was told today steering column needs to be replaced and possibly the rack too. In addition, hearing a noise while turning or backing up before warranty expired and took the car in. First time, stated bad axle and replaced. Second time, still heard noise again and told everything is fine at 53,000 miles. Third time, at about 67,000 told it was the shaft due to being worn out along with the steering column and possible the rack too. I see several steering column complaints for this make and model. I don't understand why this is not being looked into? |
