Consumer Description

WHEN STEERING LEFT OR RIGHT AT A STANDSTILL, STEERING MAKES A POPPING OR CLICKING NOISE. MY GUESS IS IT IS EITHER RACK AND PINION ASSEMBLY OR SUSPENSION PARTS. IN ADDITION, REAR END HAS A BAD RATTLE EVEN ON SMOOTH ROADS. THERE IS ABOUT 59,500 MILES ON THE SUV AND IT WAS JUST STATE INSPECTED. WE ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. CHECKED COMPLAINT BOARDS AND THERE ARE MANY SIMILAR PROBLEMS.
