Problem: I can hear a clicking or slipping sound when the steering wheel is turned in either direction. I paid $138 for a diagnoses to find out the steering shaft has to be replaced, the cost $750, ive never owned a car that required the steering wheel to be replace while making payments on the car or any other time, I bought the car new. A steering wheel problem is serious, why would you ever have replace critical parts like that on a car?
