Consumer had some play in steering wheel. Later, consumer was on highway doing about 65mph, slowing down and steering started to shake. There was a knocking noise, and it was very hard to control. Vehicle was towed to dealer, and they found a broken axle. Both boots on side of the axle were not damaged so the reason of axle breaking was unknown.
