Excessive grinding when going over bumps or dips in the road led me to take the car to a national mechanic chain that quoted me less than the dealership to fix. They determined that my steering column needed to be replaced, along with a front arm and wheel hub bearing as well as a suspension issue with the back end. I asked which was the most crucial to be completed for the $3000 estimate they gave me and they recommended the steering and front end work. I spent the next 3 months saving up and took the car in to have the work completed. I picked the car up and found it was still making quite the racket but the place literally burnt down that night so I was out of luck to question them! Seriously horrible experience owning this car that is falling apart and I can't afford to fix as I'm still paying for it for the next 2 years!
