STEERING ASSEMBLY SHIMMIES RIDICULOUSLY. I HAVE NOT BEEN CONTACTED ABOUT THE RECALL OF THE STEERING SHAFT. CAMPAIGN # 05V018000. I AM SURE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ASSEMBLY AT THIS POINT. FORTUNATELY THERE HAVE BEEN NO CRASHES OR COMPLETE FAILURE. HOWEVER I AM ANGRY I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM, IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS. I THOUGHT MY TIRES WERE OUT OF BALANCE AND HAD THAT CHECKED TWICE, AND ROTATED. I DROVE THROUGH CURVES ON CANYON ROADS EVERYDAY TO AND FROM WORK AND I NOW THAT I AM AWARE OF A PROBLEM I AM VERY CONCERNED. *AK
