Consumer Description

WHEN SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY WITH THE CAR RUNNING, IF I MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL BACK AND FORTH IT MAKES A CLANK NOISE. THIS HAPPENS WHILE IN PARK AND ALSO IN GEAR. I HAVE HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE STEERING COLUMN INTERMEDIATE SHAFT UNIVERSAL JOINT CONNECTIONS. HE ALSO SAID HE KNEW THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE SAME BODY STYLE AS MY CAR BUT A YEAR OLDER (2011). I FEEL THIS MAY BE PART OF THE SAME ISSUE THAT CAUSE THE RECALL FOR THE 2011 AND MAY HAVE BEEN OVER LOOKED.
