Consumer Description

MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP WHEN PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR THE FACTORY RECALL. THEY SAID THAT THE FACTORY RECALL PROCEDURE HAD ALREADY BEEN DONE ON THE CAR ONCE. THEY SAID THAT BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN MORE THAN 12 MONTHS SINCE THE FIRST REPAIR WAS DONE THEY WILL NOT COVER THE EXPENSE OF FIXING THE PROBLEM. I NOW HAVE THE CHOICE OF DRIVING A CAR THAT HAS A STEERING COLUMN THAT MAY LOCK UP WHILE DRIVING OR HAVING TO FORK OVER CLOSE TO $1000 TO HAVE THEM FIX SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE RIGHT THE FIRST TIME. *TR
