The steering wheel became extremely difficult to maneuver. The vehicle had been taken to the dealer on numerous occasions due to the failure, which would occur regularly. An independent mechanic replaced the front wheel bearings, front and rear brakes. In addition, four new tires were installed with a wheel alignment service, none of which corrected the failure. …”
