Consumer Description

THERE IS A RECALL ON MY CAR RECALLS ARE #174 AND 160 AND I AM DEALING WITH THESE ISSUES UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE A PROBLEM BECAUSE THE AIRBAGS CAN'T BE FIXED BECAUSE THERE HASN'T BEEN A WAY TO FIX THEM. BUT I HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE IS A REAL HARD SHAKING IN AND LOUD AND AGGRESSIVE TAPPING IN THE WHEEL COLUMN MAKES THIS SOUND WHEN U GO TO A CERTAIN SPEED.FOR OVER 60 MPH. THE KNOCKING GOES FAST AND MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO STEER THE WHEEL ESPECIALLY, ON THE HIGHWAY. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT ALL OF THESE ISSUES WITH THIS CAR. GOING TO MEET WITH THE DEALER IN TOMORROW TO SEE HOW I CAN BE ASSISTED WITH THIS ISSUE.
