Consumer Description

AT ABOUT 34,000 MILES THE STEERING CASE STARTED MAKING A CLICKING NOISE, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS NOTHING, THEY LUBED SOMETHING. AFTER THAT THE NOISE WENT AWAY BUT JUST A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER I STARTED FEELING A CLANKING NOISE IN THE STEERING, IT TURNS OUT WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR MY ANNUAL INSPECTION THE MECHANIC STATES IN ABOUT A YEAR OR TWO THE STEERING WILL NO LONGER WORK. TURNS OUT A FRIEND OF MINE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH STEERING, WHILE COMING OUT OF THEIR DRIVEWAY, THEY COULDN'T TURN THE WHEEL, THEY EVENTUALLY HAD TOO CHANGE THE STEERING CASE IN THE CAR. WHAT HAPPENS IF A PERSON IS ON THE HIGHWAY AND NO LONGER CAN STEER THE CAR, THE RESULTS WOULD BE CATASTROPHIC. *LA
