| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Any slight turning of my steering wheel results in a harsh clicking sound whether i go left or right. Also if there's a slight unevenness to the pavement, there's a very scary rattling sound coming from the steering shaft. I have seen lots of other complaints online, but heard the original recall does not affect my vehicle. This is a horrible sign and i should not have to pay to fix this issue. This issue occurs in motion stationary on any street or highway. It is all the time and getting progressively worse. |
