| Description of the problem | My car has the same problem described by a lot of other people on this forum. The steering wheel makes a clicking noise while turning and on braking. The car also wobbles at speed > 60 mph. The authorized dealer based in south plainfield nj is not helpful and shows a list of problems (unrelated to the steering) that requires fixing and costing a lot of money. This may be a safety issues thus not sure where i should take my car for repairs. Independent car service guys like mavis, midas inform that the authorized dealer should fix it for free. Also, i have been told that the power warranty that is extended is only for engine problems. |
