| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | The steering on my car is wobbly and when i turn the steering wheel, i can hear clicking noises. It has progressed over the past couple of weeks. I took my car to a dealership and was told that the noise is happening because the coupler needs to be replaced. Apparently, the coupler needs to be repaired because of wear and tear. Come on now... It's a 2011 with a little more than 62k miles. The coupler is currently being replaced at a dealership. You don't expect to have this kind of problem on a 2011 vehicle. |
