| I went to the dealershop for complaints of squeaking in tires and t2222he undercarriage felt lose over small bumps. i got the steering gear assembly replaced for $1,200 and declined the other repairs at this time. with the car only being 3 years old, i shouldn't have any major repairs! i have already contacted customer service. with the new steering assembly, the undercarriage still feels loose. i can feel it under my feet. to add to the problem, the 1 and 2 blowers don't work! they worked fine when i first took the car in! when it came out of the shop, they didn't work. i will continue to get these problems solved.2 *ak | |||
