I went to the dealershop for complaints of squeaking in "tires" and T2222he undercarriage felt lose over small bumps. I got the steering gear assembly replaced for $1,200 and declined the other repairs at this time. With the car only being 3 years old, I shouldn't have any major repairs! I have already contacted customer service. With the new steering assembly, the undercarriage still feels loose. I can feel it under my feet. To add to the problem, the 1 and 2 blowers don't work! they worked fine when I first took the car in! when it came out of the shop, they didn't work. I will continue to get these problems solved.2
