What owners wrote
There is a popping noise when turning. Took it to the dealer for service and the following was reported: "heard noise coming from power steering" "compared to new unit and had same noise" "noise is from pressure being put on pump on tight turns. No issue with the system found" "no repairs to be made at this time".
Steering wheel vibrates severely when brakes are applied at highway speeds. The brakes were hot due to steep descents while mountain driving. Steering was seriously impaired due to extreme shimmying effecting the entire front end. Braking was nearly impossible.
