Description of the problem	When sitting in my driveway with the car running, if i move the steering wheel back and forth it makes a clank noise. This happens while in park and also in gear. I have had a mechanic look at it and was told that it was the steering column intermediate shaft universal joint connections. He also said he knew there was a recall on the same body style as my car but a year older (2011). I feel this may be part of the same issue that cause the recall for the 2011 and may have been over looked.
