Description of the problem | I bought my 2013 sierra 2500 hd 4x4 used with only 42000 miles on it. Within 1000 miles of that purchase, the power steering pump failed and needed replaced. I was pulling into the gas station and almost took out a fueling tower. Power steering pumps do not fail -- they are manufacturing defects. I have had vehicles for 30 years and never had a ps pump failure. Most people never experience this. I had to fork out $500 for the repair -- gmc should reimburse me for this ; they are lucky this did't turn out to be a catastrophe. I was lucky to have been moving very slowly due to the congestion at the station. |
