| Description of the problem | My car was just serviced for excessive noise occurring when i would make turns as if the car could not grip the road. I brought the car to the deal as was told the alignment must be off, only to find that there was a recall that i was never told of. The dealer replaced the lower control arms on the car and a new alignment part their "tp3 recall" but when driving home the car did not make noises when making the turns on the on/off ramps but rather when driving straight and/or when changing lanes. Dealer due to being a sunday and service department being closed as me to call them back. This will be the 3rd time i have had to bring the car in for the same issue with each time the steering column being loose and a natural pull to the driver side. |
