Description of the problem | I filed my initial complaint over the phone but i'd like to add a few more details. After getting nowhere with gmc corporate i did my own research uncovering there is a "class action lawsuit" (i have this document and can forward if needed) in place for multiple gmc vehicles for the steering issue. Gmc has publicly admitted to installing wrong size power steering pump! In addition, the power steering cable, a loose rivet in steering column, power steering fluid leaking, and/or no or low pressure all have been the sited as a "possible" cause! *my point being fixing all of these issues will cost owners thousands of dollars and most don't have this money. Gmc needs to recall this issue asap! Gmc has recalled numerous other non-lifethreatening issues with their vehicles. Loss of power steering when turning left on a main road or at any other time can and will result in serious injury or fatality!! This is serious and needs to be made a priority addressed asap! |
