Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | The rubber steering coupler that connects the electric steering motor to the steering column has failed. When turning the steering wheel the front tires do not initially start to turn until you hear a metallic cluck and then the tires start to turn. This occurs whether the car is stopped or moving. Also, bumpy roads causes erratic shaking of the steering wheel. That did not start to occur until the rubber steering coupler failed. This part failed when the car had only 55,000 miles on it. The cost to repair it was around $250. |
