“I wasn't aware until recent that there had been a recall on my vehicle on october 28, 2015. I find this information on credit karma and I been having problem with loose steering I never received anything regarding a recall on my car. I would have definitely took it in for repairs. I need to know if the recall still valid because I need the steering fixed. When driving the steering has a lot play and I no that's not the way it supposed to be. Will someone please help me regarding this matter.”
NHTSA complaint #11174347, filed 2019-02, 128,700 miles“The steering is extremely loose. The least amount of movement of the steering wheel will jerk you into another lane and it feels like the car is almost like floating out from underneath you. While on the interstate passing semis it feels as if it's going to push me off of the road. It's extremely difficult to keep the car straight on the road without even moving the steering wheel it'll drift to the left or the right. When trying to correct it going into another lane if you just turn the steering wheel just a hair it's almost like you turn the steering wheel 180. …”
NHTSA complaint #11194828, filed 2019-04, 200,000 miles“Inner and outer tie rod ends, tie rod end adjusting sleeve, and sway bar link replaced after inner tie rod end pulled out of the adjusting sleeve that’s on the sway bar link there’s still constant pulling in the steering and is either to touchy when trying to correct vehicle back into lane or has to be turned excessively far before it even starts to correct then tries to jerk the vehicle really hard when the steering finally catches up with how far the steering wheel has been turned”
