| Description of the problem | Clunking in front when turning; dealer says the linkage in steering shaft (connecting the two pieces that it is comprised of) is loose and creating the noise - but not a safety issue. $833 estimate to repair. Purchase at 41,587 miles - at 45,442 whenit was checked by dealer. Did not repair (do not have funds) and not covered under warranty. Do not believe this is not a serious safety concern!!!
