Consumer Description

MAKING CLUNK TYPE NOISE FROM THE UPPER INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT WHILE TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS STARTED TO HAPPEN FROM THE 1ST YEAR OF OWNERSHIP, BUT IT WAS ONLY DURING THE WINTER MONTHS AND THE FREQUENCY WAS VERY RARE (1 OR TWO TIMES). RECENTLY IT STARTED TO HAPPEN ALL THE TIME. LOOKED UP THE INTERNET AND APPEARS THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. CONTACTED BUICK AND REPORTED THE PROBLEM. *TR
