| Description of the problem | I made a previous complaint nhtsa # 10896943... I just wanted to confirm when i picked my car up from the shop because my brake lights would not go off which caused my battery to die and multiple other problems,this was actually my 4th recall to be fixed on this car. They confirmed the rattling and lose steering wheel is because the steeling coupler needs replaced. There is no recall and it is going to cost over $300 to get it fixed. While the car was in the shop i found out there was 2 other recalls 6 total recalls since i bought this car. The shop had to order parts for one of the recalls so i am having to take my car back when the part arrives. There needs to be a recall on the coupler as well, if i do not pay to have this fixed and it breaks while driving it could cause me to lose steering which obviously is not a situation i want to put my family or myself in!! This needs to be addressed before someone get seriously hurt or killed due to all these failures!! |
