Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | Was turning left into a parking lot and there was no assist from the power steering. It was almost as if it was locking up. This issue has been occurring several times a week since then, usually at low speeds. There have been a couple of close calls to hitting other vehicles as this issue surfaces with no warning. I asked lafontaine in highland mi to look at it when i was having water pump issues. It seems there was no true investigation on the issue, just that it was out of warranty and i would have to pay to change the r&p, even though that may not be the issue. I issued a complaint to gm customer service when the vehicle was in the shop again for a transmission module replacement. Again, no concern from gm that the steering fails without warning. Loss of steering is a very big safety concern. I am trying to sell or trade in the vehicle as i do not feel safe having my wife and kiss in the car. |
