There's a clunking in the steering . From what I've found on the forums this is a common problem . It appears to be a plastic coupler in the steering motor that deteriorates causing a metal on metal grinding. I noticed this while turning at at street corners or changing lanes on highway. Nhtsa number: 10090941. This apparently has been reported before . Wanted to make sure my info was included .
