- Leo, IN, USA

(1) steering: Vibrates when going over bumpy roads or bad roads. Happens when slowing down or going around corners. Would move & make clattering noises. Dealer said vehicle is not under recall even though experiencing the same problem (98V242000). (2) driver's power seat track brackets would move or shift & make clunking noises when getting in or out of seat. Seat would rock back & forth. Dealership will not repair the tract or brackets on power seats. Owner wants vehicle inspected for vibration problem but not by dealership.
