This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
While driving noticed a noise coming from front end of vehicle, and vehicle was swaying. Dealer has been contacted. And indicated that rack and pinion steering needed to be replaced. Provide further information.
After taking vehicle in for an alignment I was informed by mechanic that there was a problem with "right power steering rack mounting bushings" and the "lower control arm" was making a noise. He said it would cost approx. $1400 to correct this problem. This vehicle was well amintained and driven properly at all times. This seems a bit strange that a vehicle less than 4 years old, not driven abusively would have such a major expense repair.
Car pulls to the left upon slowing down to a stop, driving on bumpy terrain and freeway conditions. Car has beeen in 4 times for repairs such as complete rebuild of rack and pinion, rotation of tires and alignment. Problem still exists. Steering wheel comes to rest turned left and will not "bounce back" to center after manuvering a left turn. Steering wheel does come back to center after negotiating a right turn.
