Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: This vehicle rack & pinion makes a noise every time you turn left. contacted the dealer and was told that no action will be taken to correct the problem, in fact i was told it will happen to the right later.contacted the manufacturer direct , they are aware of the problem but it is an engineering defect that the company does not want to correct. i am afraid that i will be stuck with a vehicle that may loose steering control if this part that is rubbing against the other part in this rack & pinion system fails. i wish someone from the nhtsa finds out what exactly is this problem and why it cannot be corrected.*ak
