Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I bought the car brand new in 2003. have had to take it into the dealership on three separate occasions. and it's happening again so this next time will be the fourth. problem occurs every 6k or so. play in the intermediate steering assembly begins to occur. first indication is a knocking noise heard while turning. i have taken it to three different dealers and they still can not correct the problem. it is just going to get frustrating over the life of the vehicle to constantly have to have it repaired. very concerned with the safety of the vehicle. also, if i tried to sell it, this problem could seriously affect the value of the vehicle. *jb
