| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Steering very very loose and clunky, with much slop and resulting horrible tire wear. unsafe to drive. there is no apparent damage to rack & pinion itself, it just becomes dangerously loose due to poorly designed mounting bushings. mfr advises no bushings sold for replacement due to "molded design" (unlike previous models of same vehicle), mfr claims that only option is to purchase "entire rack and pinion ass'y at $1,040 (parts only)" even though only failure is their mounting bushing design. *ak |
