Consumer Description
I WAS ON MY WAY TO EAT OUT WITH MY WIFE. AND WHEN I WAS DRIVING MY STEERING WHEEL STARTEDAND SHAKING THEN A LIGHT APPEARED ON MY DASHBOARD A WRENCH LIT UP INDICATING THAT I NEEDED TO FIX SOMETHING SO AS I WENT AND PARKED IN THE PARKING LOT OF A QUALITY DAIRY AND WHEN I WENT TO START THE VEHICLE BACKUP I HAD NO POWER STEERING. AND SO I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE RAN SOME DIAGNOSTICS AND TOLD ME THAT THE ELECTRONIC STEERING WENT OUT AND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON IT AND TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP SO I DID THAT AND THEN THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THIS PART HAS ALREADY BEEN REPLACED SO IF THIS IS A RECALLED PART THAT HAS TO DO WITH SAFETY THEN WHY IS IT FAILING AGAIN AND WHY AM I HAVING TO PAY FOR IT OUT OF MY POCKET $1,200 THIS MAKES NO SENSE IF IT'S A SAFETY RECALL BECAUSE OF THE DEFAULT IN THIS PART THEN WHY IS IT FAILING AGAIN?
