| Description of the problem | When i first got the car the steering wheel was a little lose. I called the dealership and asked them about it. John d ask if my life was in danger i said no. He said it's nothing they can do. At the time my life was not in danger when it came to the steering column, so i thought. As time went on it got worse to the point i felt that my life could be in danger. So i took it to two different car shops to get it fix cause i don't have a warranty. But both shop said to take it back asap. It could lock up on me at anytime and it is not safe to drive. I can afford another car. I'm afraid that something might happen when i have my kids in the car. The steering column shakes and make noise. I have to hold it real tight when driving so it won't go into other lanes. Please help me i don't know what to do |
