Description of the problem | Steering column coupling failed, causing vehicle to vibrate at low speeds and when making a sharp turn, which could result in loss of vehicle control. The viscous coupling is what failed, twice. Dealer claims this is not uncommon and that the parts are on backorder. The front wheels bind and vehicle feels as if it is sliding. *ak |
