BEFORE THE THREE YEAR WARRANTY WAS UP I HAD A TOTAL OF 15,000 MILES ON IT. I COMPLAINED OF IT SHIMMYING AND GRINDING SOUND IN THE BACK, BUT THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND A THING WRONG.

DT: THE CALLER SAID THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 10 MPH LOST STEERING CONTROL. HE JUST GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY AND WAS STARTING TO TURN INTO A PARKING LOT WHEN HE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.

HE WAS TOLD THAT THE COMPRESSION BOLT THAT HOLDS THE STEERING KNUCKLE AND THE STEERING WHEEL SPINDLE TOGETHER CAME LOOSE AND CAUSED THE LOSS OF STEERING. THE REPAIR SHOP TIGHTENED THE BOLT. DEALER SAID THEY NEVER HEARD OF THAT PROBLEM. MANUFACTURER HAS NOT BEEN CONTACTED YET.*AK
