Consumer Description

AS TIME IS GOING ON THE STEERING IS GETTING LESS CONTROLLABLE. I HAVE YET TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT BUT I CAN FEEL THE CAR SWERVING A BIT WHEN I'M STEERING (SWERVING I DIDN'T DO). I LOOKED UP MY VIN ON ISEECARS.COM TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL AT ALL WITH THE STEERING AND THERE WAS IN 2014 . I BOUGHT THIS CAR LAST YEAR SO I AM THE OWNER AND AM NOT SURE HOW TO GO ABOUT THIS. I GOT IT CHECKED OUT AND THE MECHANIC SAID THERE IS DEFINITELY AN ISSUE WITH THE RACK AND PINION AND SHAFT . ALSO MY PASSENGER SEATBELT LIGHT REMAINS ON AT ALL TIMES AND THERE HAVE BEEN MINOR ISSUES WITH THEM.
