| Description of the problem | Took car in for engine recall and explained i was also getting a clicking noise in steering column and while turning. I was informed it was the steering wheel coupler at the cost of $10 while the whole repair cost me $200 because he cut me a break! I explained i had been complaining about this for awhile prior to the start of the clicking noise. I was informed at that time that it was normal, no problem with the steering. I explained this to the service rep and was told since we just took over a month ago they can only address what they diagnosed! My car was bought brand new has 46953 miles, i was 6months 9 days out of time warranty. Totally ridiculous and on top of it i still have the clicking noise! |
