Description of the problem	A loud rattle started sounding in the steering column when going over even small bumps. The steering wheel had excessive "play" in it. The dealer replaced the "steering column flexible coupling" free of charge. I saw a similar complaint on this issue and feel there should be a notice (recall?) about this since it could be a serious safety issue.
