I have been having an issue with my steering column in my Impala I know there was a recall on some Impala's but when I contacted a local dealer I was told mine wasn't in recall . Yet there's a popping noise in steering column and just recently I started having problems with my high beam lights they will switch to high beam whenever I use my blinker and I have to push in n hold in the blinker switch for a few mins before the high beam lights will go off ! I've bright lighted so many ppl over this problem and I feel very guilty if I caused someone to crash over bright lighting them even though it's out of my control really . Please help me find out if my car should be checked for this steering knuckle recall bc a mechanic told me that it sounds like that is what may be the issue , thank you .
