SINCE VEHICLE WAS ONE YEAR OLD IT HAS HAD STEERING VIBRATION AND NOISE. BUICK DEALERS AND HEAD QUARTERS HAVE DENIED GIVING ME ANY BULETIN OR ADVISORY INFO ON THE PROBLEM.

I ONLY WANT TO KNOW IF A SOLUTION HAS BEEN FOUND, IF THERE ARE ADVISORIES ON THE STEERING, AND HOW TO PROCEED WITH THEM. BUICK HAS BEEN OF NO HELP.
