Description of the problem | At random times, my car's steering becomes extremely stiff, sometimes to the point that i cannot make the turn. Usually happens when turning into a parking space or making a tight turn at an intersection. I've noticed that it usually occurs when applying my brakes while turning. I've learned to make these turns without using the brakes. I had the fluid changed, but didn't help the problem. The service technician stated that this is a very expensive "fix", as he thinks it is the pump. Shame on gm for not recalling this product. Are they waiting for someone to get injured? How sad is that! I'm surprised to read of so many complaints that are very similar to mine. Because of this... Gm's turning a blind eye... I will most likely never again purchase a gm. |
