Consumer Description

STEERING RACK IS LEAKING AND IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ACROSS INTERNET. THIS COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS ON HIGHWAY. THE STEERING MAKES A WEIRD AUTOMATED SOUND WHEN CAR MAKES SHARP TURNS ON SLOW SPEED. I CAN SEE THE LEAKS AROUND THE STEERING RACK. THE LEAK CAUSED MY BEARINGS TO FAIL WHICH COSTED AROUND 1000 TO REPAIR. HAD ALIGNMENT DONE THREE TIMES BUT IT GETS MISALIGNED EASILY. THE DEALERS WOULD LIKE TO GET AT LEAST $1200 TO FIX THE ISSUE. DEALERS KNOW THAT IT IS A COMMON SAFETY ISSUE BUT DOESN'T TAKE IT AS A RECALL WORTHY. HOPE NHTSA CAN HELP HERE.
