steering wheel and ignition issues...

[owen25]

Hey all...

Just joined and having a few problems with the vehicle...

Just noticed that the steering wheel is starting to come loose from the column...you just grab the wheel and you can move it towards the dash in all directions (kinda feels like the center of the wheel is on a small pivot) about a 1/2"...

2nd prob...when you start the vehicle (ours has the auto seats, so they move when the key goes in the ignition...memory) the seats move up to correct spot...you can bump the key out slightly and the dome light goes on and seats start to move back...not too bad siting still but going around a curve is another story...

Just hoping someone can help...dont feel like getn raped again by the stealership...

Thanks in advance,
Owen25

I know someone has to have some insight on these vehicles....

Nobody may have had those problems.

If it were me, those are both huge safety issues. I would take it to the dealership. If it's a 2007, you should be under warranty 5yr/60,000 miles, no?
