When driving my vehicle their is a knocking noise in my front right wheel, almost sounds as if some bolts are loose. Also when pulling in to back up, when i turn my steering wheel a certain way their is a funny clicking sound in the steering wheel, and funny sound in the brake when i am backing my car into my drive way. I believe that this may be an issue with a recall that hasn't been looked into.

The transmission seems to be the cause of the problem since it starts shifting gears on it's own. The vehicle has now been doing this since 2/16/19 and has done it almost every day since.

When i get up past 28-31 mph the problem goes away, but i am afraid that it might stick as some point and cause an accident!
