Consumer Description

WENT TO BACK OUT OF PARKING SPOT AT DOCTOR'S OFFICE CAR MADE A "BANGING" NOISE. THE POWER STEERING WOULD NOT WORK WHEN TURNING TO THE LEFT. IT DOES WORK WHEN TURNING TO THE RIGHT. I WENT TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP BECAUSE I THOUGHT SOMETHING.HAPPENED IN THE TRANSMISSION, CAUSING THE STEERING TO BIND WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE RACK WAS BAD AN NOT THE TRANSMISSION. I GOT ON THE WEB TO FIND PRICING FOR A NEW RACK AND FOUND A WEB SITE THAT LISTED OVER 50 ISSUES. *AK WITH THE RACK FOR GM CARS. I CALLED GM AND THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO HELP. AFTER READING THE COMPLAINTS FROM THE WEB SITE I FEEL THAT SOMEONE NEEDS TO LOOK AT SAFETY ISSUES REGUARDING SUCH AN IMPORTANT PART (STEERING) OF THE CAR.
