| Description of the problem | Steering coupling broken...... Makes clunking sound while turning or driving straight.... 2014 thru 2016 models made between july 2013 and september 2015 have been recalled for same problem..... My car was manufactured 6 months to early to have it recalled...... Something smells fishy..... With all of the complaints i am seeing this problem started earlier than someone wants to admit...... My car was purchased at boniface hiers in melbourne, fl and they won't fix it under warranty.... The car has 25,000 miles on it....... Pathetic |
