MY RACK AND PINION IS ALSO CAUSING ME PROBLEMS. IT HAS BECOME VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER- MORE SO TO ONE SIDE THAN THE OTHER. A FRIEND OF THE FAMILY ALSO OWNS A VIGOR NEAR TO THE SAME YEAR AS MINE AND THEIR RACK IS BAD AS WELL AND CAUSES SOME BAD VIBRATIONS. I AM WORKING NOW TO SEE IF THERE HAVE BEEN ANY RECALLS ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM. IF ANYONE KNOWS OF ANY PLEASE LET ME KNOW. *JB

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
