Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: We reported the problem as a loud pop when turning and striking a bump in the road. after three trips to the dealer and being told there was nothing wrong, they finally examined the rack and pinion and found a broken weld on the rack assembly. there is still some unusual noises in the front end but the dealor tells us everything is normal. at 8,000 miles the left front rotor was examined, and found to have deep scores in it while the right one was smooth. after three days in the shop, and there telling me this was normal wear they finally turned the rotors (not replacing them) this eleminated some noise and surging when stopping, but something is still not right. there is a ticking noise like when there is a rock in one of your tires, as well as unexplained poping when crossing rr tracks etc. *ak
