| Description of the problem | For over a year, the steering wheel has clicked at the slightest movement, even on flat highway. It vibrates heavily and clicks loudly on uneven pavement, and feels loose when turning. I took it in for other recalls and was told it needed a steering coupler that would cost $338. I know that part is only about $5 and i just watched a youtube video where a guy replaced it in less than an hour. It looked so easy i'm tempted to try and do it myself. There are more complaints about this issue than any other of the many issues this car has. There should be a recall for this problem. |
