Description of the problem	I was having problems with my steering shaking and rattling, was waiting for my appointment at the dealership to resolve the problem as i noticed was on a recall nhtsa #10v457000 & 10v426000, dealer stated they were completed 05/ 2010. That i would have to pay $500 to fix the problem again. I was in process of transfering back to ft worth. Due to limeted budget could not fix the problem .. Several days later i was involved in an incident where a person had contacted my vehicle from the front. I managed to cause this possibly fatal front end collision to be a glancing blow. But not before having problems operating the vehicle's steering capability. The shaking and rattling in the steering wheel which they (dealership) said was corrected; come also with play in the steering it self the steering wheel is turned ... Left or right. Due to this delay the seconds caused contact to still be made where as if was corrected with a adequate replacement part could possibly been avoided. Now am told i have to pay for this to be fixed even though is a prior recal; that is still defective. Mind you the part is $500. So is this a matter of once a recall always a recall. At $500 a pop. Waranty is 6 yrs / 60,000?? (not totally sure on that?) so is my responsbility after that? May as well sell. Is it the automotive s industry to have consumers lease instead of buy. .. And parts industry and manufacturing industry to capitalize off of defective parts... By reselling these defectice parts over and over???????????

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
