While driving at any speed steering produced a loud thumping noise. Dealer stated that intermediate steering shaft failed intermittently....it would cost $300 to replace and lubricate it.

Tie rod ends had to be replaced at about 15K miles, again at about 25K miles. Car now has 64K miles and needs to be replaced again. Also, I have had to have the steering shaft lubricated and/or replaced 4 times due to the clicking/grinding noise caused by defective shafts.
