| Component | STEERING |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Above approximately 60 mph steering column develops a shudder which builds and wanes - steering becomes more challenging as a result. The greater the speed, the more pronounced is this condition. This is a suboptimal condition that is not typical for a functional vehicle, and is unrelated to wheel quality, rotation or balance. It is a temblor-like shudder which clearly will interfere with safety if it continues or progresses. Perhaps this is related to nhtsa id number: 10110926, but this vehicle is now at 108k miles, so that doesn't cover it, does it. Further, i have no record of notification of receiving manufacturer communication number: 5np-f8m5g-03. I will be contacting the dealership contending inadequate notice, and needing this to be repaired to assure safety. |
