Consumer Description

I HAD A STARTER FAILURE ON MY CAR, AND WAS REPLACING STARTER MYSELF, SINCE I DO MOST OF MY REPAIRS, & TO REMOVE STARTER, THE STEERING SHAFT HAS TO REMOVED FOR CLEARANCE. AFTER TAKING THE STEERING SHAFT FROM THE STEERING BOX AND EXAMINING IT, I FOUND RUSTED OUT SECTION ON THE COLLAPSING JOINT OF THE SHAAFT. IT IS COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT HALF THE DIAMETER OF THE SHAFT. I WENT AUTO SALVAGE YARD & PUT ANOTHER SHAFT ON CAR. I LIVE IN PA, PADOT USES LIQUID DEICING SPRAY ON HIGHWAYS & IT HAS PENETRATED THIS PART. IF IT HAD GONE MUCH LONGER, IT WOULD HAVE BROKEN COMPLETELY OFF, WITH LOSS OF STEERING AND POSSIBLY CRASH. THIS ONLY HAS 60,000+ MILES. I DIDN'T GO TO DEALER FOR REPLACEMET, BUT SAVED THE DEFECTIVE PART. I THINK THERE SHOULD BE RECALL TO CHECK OTHER VEHICLES FOR THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GET IN TROUBLE. *TR
