I sent the car to the dealer on two occasions for repairs, and they replaced the steering column both times, the car still cluncked. .the dealer said the cluncking sound was okay and not to bring it back.the right wheel bearing was replaced, and now the gas gaug efailed. 1 was told when the gas gauge failure was an early warning that the fuel pump will soon need to be replaced.”
