Eps light is on. Knocking noise when moving steering wheel. Vehicle was taken to dealer. Diagnosed problem that would cost me $3000 to repair. I was told the whole steering column would have to be replaced. After long research, recall 127 should have covered my vehicle, but it did not. Please advise.
I had stopped at an intersection. I started to make a left turn and it became extremely difficult to steer. I noticed the eps sensor on the dashboard was on. There was no warning or strange sound. I was probably going 5 mph since, there appeared to be no power in car. I pulled over leaving the vehicle on. I preceded to make my way home. Having no real ability to steer the vehicle. I am very fortunate the oncoming traffic was still a good distance from vehicle. I did hear a clicking noise in the steering when I made a left turn. I took into to the dealer in 2011, they we're unable to duplicate the sound. At that time it was under warranty. That is the only warning I could of possibly had there was something unsafe about the vehicle.
