Steering wheel has a clunking feel and makes a clunking noise when the wheel is turns sharply to the left or right when stopped or at low speeds. I have mentioned this twice when I took the car to the dealers for oil changes and was told "that is just the way ste steering column feels".
The steering wheel has a clunk or pop that is both audible and felt in the wheel when making turns to the right at low speeds. At 10,000 miles I began hearing and feeling this clunk. At 18,000 miles I brought my vehicle to the dealer and they said they would have to replace the entire steering column and that it was a safety concern. The stopped the sound and the pop/clunk. 1000 miles later the sound started reappearing. I brought my vehicle to the dealer 5 times since and the dealer claims to not be able to hear the sound. I am aware of two technical service bulletins on this issue. I believe the part is systemic defective and unsafe. I believe this needs to be researched as a defect and requires a recall.
