Consumer Description

WHEN TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT THERE IS A CLICKING SOUND COMING FROM THE TURN IN THE STEERING. DURING THE TURN IT FEELS AS THOUGH THERE IS A BREAK IN THE STEERING LINE. IT SEEMS AS IF IT WERE A CHAIN I WOULD SAY ITS MISSING ABOUT 4 LINKS. I TOOK IT IN FOR THIS PROBLEM ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO AND IT WAS RESOLVED FOR A WHILE. I WAS TOLD THE STEERING COLUMN NEEDED TIGHTENING. HERE IT IS DOING THE SAME THING FOR THE LAST 2 MONTHS. NOW I NOTICE THE BRAKING IS NOT STOPPING IN THE MANNER IT SHOULD. I HAVE NEARLY REARENDED A FEW PEOPLE IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS OR CONTINUED JUST PAST THE STOP LINE AT AN INTERSECTION. *JB
