Consumer Description

MY 2001 BUICK REGAL HAS A "LOOSENESS" WOBBLING" FEELING IN THE STEERING ON ALL PAVEMENTS AND IS ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE WHILE TURNING OR CORNERING. I HAD THE CAR INTO A BUICK DEALER SEVERAL MONTHS AGO AND THEY PUT A GREASE BUSHING IN THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT. THE PROBLEM WAS NOT SOLVED, BUT WAS LESSER FOR A WHILE. NOW AT 31,500 MILES THE PROBLEM IS AGAIN VERY NOTICEABLE AND EVEN MORE SO THAN BEFORE. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE FRONT END. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE DRIVE THE CAR AND THEY CERTAINLY NOTICED THE LOOSE FEELING IN THE STEERING.*AK
