Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE STEERING BEING INCREDIBLY TOO STIFF. THERE IS NO RETURN ONCE THE STEERING WHEEL HAS REACHED PAST 3 O'CLOCK OR 9 O'CLOCK ON THE WHEEL. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT IS THE ISSUE AND HAS BEEN COMMONLY REPORTED. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED AS THE STEERING IS INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT TO TURN AND CAN CAUSE SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH BEING ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. IF THE PART IS FAULTY THAT WAS INSTALLED, WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN BROUGHT UP AS A WARRANTY RECALL. THIS IS INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATING THAT THIS COULD BE A SERIOUSLY DETRIMENTAL ISSUE THAT HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED.
