Consumer Description

THERE IS A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. THE ROAD SURFACES CAUSES THE STEERING WHEEL TO JERK AND CREATES A RATTLING CLUNK NOISE AND LOW SPEEDS. IF THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK SIDE TO SIDE, THE APPARENT NOISE IS CLICKING. I SUSPECT THIS IS A FAULTY STEERING INTERMEDIATE SHAFT. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE CAR TENDS TO DRIFT OUT OF THE LANE. UNEVEN ROAD SURFACES CAUSES THE WHEEL TO JERK AT CITY AND HIGHWAY SPEEDS. WHEEL BALANCING AND VEHICLE ALIGNMENT WERE PERFORMED. THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. REPLACING THE INTERMEDIATE SHAFT SHOULD BE A RECALL AS WELL AS THE REPLACEMENT/REPROGRAM OF THE EPS MODULE. *TR
