| Description of the problem | As i was driving at about 40 mph the car made an electrical noise and the steering wheel began shaking violently. I fought the shaking wheel to pull the car over and turned it off. The steering wheel continued to shake violently for about 5 minutes with the key out of the ignition. It was exactly like this video: https://www. Youtube. Com/watch? V=kzabdamqaps i took it to the dealership who replaced the steering column intermediate shaft as part of a recall and they told me i need a new steering column which is over $1,500 dollars as it was "not associated" with the recall and was not under warranty. |
