Consumer Description

CLUNKING NOISE COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN WHEN MAKE LEFT OR RIGHT TURNS AT LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS. DEALERSHIP INSPECTED MY CAR, EVEN TEST DROVE WITH ONE OF THE MECHANICS, AND THEY CLAIM THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING AFTER SEVERAL APPOINTMENTS AND INSPECTIONS. FINALLY, THEY SAID IT'S SOMETHING WITH MY STEERING AND HAVE YET TO FULLY DIAGNOSE AND FIX THE PROBLEM. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH AND YOU'LL FIND MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND LITTLE HELP FROM THE DEALERSHIP.
