What owners wrote
Purchased a vehicle from dealer and steering was never fixed. Then purchased a extended warranty ,and it was never honored! I exit the warranty ,and was not send money back. The company made excuses, and didn't respond after repeated request and letters.
The steering wheel started jerking uncontrollably. The steering wheel would release and move back and forth on its own. The consumer was able to maintain control, and drove the vehicle to a local dealer. The mechanic determined that the problem could not be duplicated, and the vehicle was operating as designed. The steering position sensor was replaced.
