“You turn the steering wheel and the column makes noises and going down the road the wheel on passenger side feels like it is shaking ...I took it the shop and he said it would do no good to change the column because it would go bad in a few months these cars are known for that...and sometimes when I turn my key to start the car it is like it stays on like I'm trying to start it and I'm not touching the key then it goes off.”
