Consumer Description

CAR HAS BEEN HAVING STICKY STEERING PROBLEMS FOR AWHILE NOW. IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE THIS SUMMER . WHEN THE WEATHER IS ABOVE 70 OR THE LONGER I DRIVE THE WORSE IT GETS. PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN SO BAD THAT IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE ANY LONGER. STEERING WHEEL SEEMS TO HAVE A FLAT SPOT IN THE MIDDLE AND CAUSES YOU TO OVER STEER WHEN THIS HAPPENS. VERY DANGEROUS. WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE AROUND 3000 DOLLARS TO FIX?? IT IS A GREAT CAR BESIDES THAT!! TO BAD IT CANNOT BE DRIVEN AT THIS TIME. JUST SITTING IN GARAGE. WOULD LOVE TO HAVE ANOTHER ONE BUT NOT AT THE EXPENSE OF A NEW STEERING COLUMN.
