When the vehicle is in motion, the steering column clicks when turned both left and right. The car rattles loudly when you drive over covered man hole covers, bumps, or anything that's not level pavement. I thought it was the wheel bearing but my mechanic looked at the car yesterday and advised it is the steering column.
A loud rattle started sounding in the steering column when going over even small bumps. The steering wheel had excessive "play" in it. The dealer replaced the "steering column flexible coupling" free of charge. I saw a similar complaint on this issue and feel there should be a notice (recall?) about this since it could be a serious safety issue.
