Tight steering/repaired by dealer 7/31/2017( recall # 13S08)...tight steering again 8/1/2018 was told by mechanic( non-dealer) was steering pump, turned out to be upper intermittent steering shaft, I believe when the lower was replaced it would have made sense to replace the upper as well, looking for reimbursement for at least part $310.10 to be paid to mechanic @ joes auto mall /new bedford
