While turning right, the steering wheel failed with no control. The consumer was able to stop vehicle. The dealer was notified. The consumer stopped a stop sign at an intersection when the steering wheel started to spin around. It was discovered the intermediate shaft at the base of the steering column had come loose. The air bag light was on and the clock spring had broken.

The consumer was charged for the replacement of the steering rack and pinion, even though a recalled was issued. The lower pinion bearing, tie rod ends and pressure hoses were replaced.
