| Description of the problem | Car shakes a little bit at highway speeds. The problem is a loud popping noise when turning. Typically in parking lots at slower speeds. Do not hear the popping when driving ever. You can also sit in the car with the car running, turn the wheel either direction and when you turn the wheel back you can feel and hear the popping in the steering wheel and continue going back and forth producing the popping noise and vibration with every turn of the wheel. Had everything checked at private mechanic and the inner tie rods were replaced. Did not resolve the issue. The car had the engine replaced at 90000 miles related to another recall. Charged me 400 dollars for a new starter at that time when nothing was wrong with the starter prior to the engine seizing. The car now has 99900 miles on it, but the popping noise has been present since 94000 miles. One mechanic says it is rack and pinion another is saying eps needs replaced. I am calling the dealership tomorrow but both are costly repairs and a safety issue. Now the traction control light is on. |
