| 2003 | STEERING | STEERING KNUCKLE U-JOINT WAS CLUNKING. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED AND I PAID $275. ONE YEAR LATER, IT STARTED CLUNKING AGAIN ON TURNS - DEALERSHIP ADDED IN GREASE KIT AT NO CHARGE. ONE YEAR LATER, STEERING STARTS CLUNKING AGAIN AND THEY SAY IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. WHY IS THIS THING DESIGNED TO LAST ONLY ONE YEAR? THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT IS NOT A SAFETY HAZARD, BUT IF THE STEERING IS CLUNKING LIKE SOMETHING IS LOOSE, HOW DO I KNOW IT IS SAFE? *JB |
