Consumer Description

I NOTICED A PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR AT 42,000 MILES. AT ABOUT 45,000 MILES I NOTICED THAT STEERING WHEEL WOULD "GET CAUGHT" ON SOMETHING WHILE TRYING TO BRING IT BACK TO ITS NORMAL POSITION AFTER TURNING, AND CLICKING WHILE GETTING OVER WHATEVER WAS CATCHING IT. AT THE SAME TIME RATTLING IN THE FRONT END CAME ALONG WHILE DRIVING ON UNEVEN SURFACES - LIKE A DIRT ROAD, BUMPS, HOLES ON THE ROAD. AT 46,000 MILES I WAS TOLD I HAD TO REPLACE THE WHOLE STEERING RACK ASAP BEFORE I LOOSE THE ABILITY TO STEER MY CAR ON THE ROAD AND HURT ME/SOMEBODY ELSE. *JB
