Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING UP A STEEP WINDING ROAD MY CAR BEGAN MAKING A FLUTTERING NOISE LIKE A PADDLEBOAT. THERE WAS A LOT OF PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL WITH A SMALL SQUEAK TO ONLY THE LEFT, IN THE PLAY OF THE STEERING WHEEL. THE DEALERSHIP HAS LET ME KNOW I NEED TO REPLACE THE STEERING SHAFT. WHAT ACTUALLY MAKES THE STEERING SHAFT GO OUT, ISN'T THAT A COMPONENT THAT HAS A LONG LIFE? THE NOISE WAS MORE INTENSE DRIVING UP THE ROAD THAN GOING DOWN. AS REACHED A CITY LEVEL THE DRUMMING NOISE WAS STILL HAPPENING, BUT INCONSISTENT.
