What owners wrote
On july 4 the ABS light came on for no reason several times , staying on for long periods of time. There was a clicking noise in the steering colum and wheel . It sounded like it was coming from the left side. On july 5 , I was driving to work on a back road with several curves . The ABS light came on again . Clicking was still happening as well. All of a sudden I felt like I was sliding on a sheet of ice. I swirved from side to side and could not get my car under control.
After vehicle reaches highway speeds for 30 or so miles there is a loud clunking noise in the steering area in the engine compartment. Took to dealership and they replaced tie rods and did a alignment. 2 days later same thing happens as well as the alignment was way out of specs, took back to shop where they replaced sway bar and left strut and alignment. Few days later the same sound is happening and the car is out of alignment ruining a new set of tires. Taking back to the shop for third and final time.
