As time is going on the steering is getting less controllable. I have yet to get into an accident but I can feel the car swerving a bit when I'm steering (swerving I didn't do). I looked up my VIN on iseecars. Com to see if there was a recall at all with the steering and there was in 2014 . I bought this car last year so I am the owner and am not sure how to go about this. I got it checked out and the mechanic said there is definitely an issue with the rack and pinion and shaft . Also my passenger seatbelt light remains on at all times and there have been minor issues with them.
