Consumer Description

MY CAR WAS JUST SERVICED FOR EXCESSIVE NOISE OCCURRING WHEN I WOULD MAKE TURNS AS IF THE CAR COULD NOT GRIP THE ROAD. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEAL AS WAS TOLD THE ALIGNMENT MUST BE OFF, ONLY TO FIND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL THAT I WAS NEVER TOLD OF. THE DEALER REPLACED THE LOWER CONTROL ARMS ON THE CAR AND A NEW ALIGNMENT PART THEIR "TP3 RECALL" BUT WHEN DRIVING HOME THE CAR DID NOT MAKE NOISES WHEN MAKING THE TURNS ON THE ON/OFF RAMPS BUT RATHER WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT AND/OR WHEN CHANGING LANES. DEALER DUE TO BEING A SUNDAY AND SERVICE DEPARTMENT BEING CLOSED AS ME TO CALL THEM BACK. THIS WILL BE THE 3RD TIME I HAVE HAD TO BRING THE CAR IN FOR THE SAME ISSUE WITH EACH TIME THE STEERING COLUMN BEING LOOSE AND A NATURAL PULL TO THE DRIVER SIDE. *TR
