Consumer Description

THERE IS A THUNKING SOUND THAT ORIGINATES SOMEWHERE IN THE STEERING MECHANISM. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE AND THAT THE STEERING BOX JUST NEEDED TO BE REPACKED WITH GREASE. IT FEELS AS IF IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IT FEELS AS IF THE WHOLE STEERING MECHANISM IS GOING TO COME APART. I ORIGINALLY NOTICED THE PROBLEM AT 25000 MILES AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THE NOISE CAME BACK IN ABOUT 12-15000 MILES. IT APPEARS FROM THE MESSAGE BOARDS AND TO PEOPLE THAT I HAVE TALKED TO THAT OWN THE SAME OR SIMILAR VEHICLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS. *TR
