Consumer Description

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH MY ALIGNMENT AND MY TIRES HAVE BEEN WEARING INCREDIBLY UNEVENLY. WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY CAR WILL SHAKE VIOLENTLY. I WAS ADVISED TO REALIGN AGAIN SEVERAL MONTHS AGO AND MY TIRES CONTINUE TO BE DESTROYED AND MY CAR CONTRIBUTES TO SHAKE. TODAY WHEN MY POWER STEERING WAS BEING REPLACED FOR AN OPEN RECALL I WAS ADVISED UPON PICK UP THAT MY STEERING COUPLER HAS GONE BAD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AS THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ISSUE (NEVER MIND THAT I WAS INFORMED OF THIS ISSUE AFTER MY STEERING COLUMN WAS REASSEMBLED SO I HAVE TO PAY LABOR FOR THEM TO PULL THE ENTIRE UNIT AGAIN!). I'VE READ MANY COMPLAINTS SIMILAR TO THIS ONLINE REGARDING BAD COUPLERS AND SHAKING CARS RUINING TIRES. I WAS ADVISED THAT IF IT BREAKS FURTHER MY CAR WILL LIKELY SWERVE INTO ANOTHER LANE OF TRAFFIC AND BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STEER.
