Hello sirs! I had a 2012 Ford Fiesta with electric power steering that developed a severe steering rattle over uneven road. Ford was never able to fix it. Then I had a 2013 Kia Rio sedan also with EPS. KIA Ormoc changed the flimsy plastic rack bush inside the electric power steering column twice. Good only for a few months and the steering rattle came back. They also changed the steering electric motor, rattle still there. I sold the car after 5 years.
Now i have the 2017 Montero Sport with about 16k kms on the odo. I feel a very slight rattle on the steering over uneven road at low speed. Mitsubishi Ormoc said its normal to have a slight rattle. Driving at high speed on highways, not a single rattle can felt; Steering is very smooth. EXCEPT it veers slightly to the right! As i read over the posts here, I realized this is not an isolated case and is a very common issue to this new Montero. I will have my Monty checked at the Mitsu shop tomorrow. I just hope this is covered by their warranty because as per inquiry, they said steering alignment would cost around P2,000. And I also hope they will resolve the issue.
