Consumer Description

THE POWER STEERING & POWER BRAKES WENT OUT SIMULTANEOUSLY. FORTUNATELY I WAS ONLY TOWING THE BOAT TRAILER(2000 LBS) I HAD JUST UNLOADED A 5000 LB BOAT THE DATE WAS 7 JULY. NO ONE WAS INJURED AND NOTHING WAS DAMAGED. HOWEVER UPON CHECKING AROUND THIS APPARENTLY IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS GM PLATFORM. THE DEALERSHIP KNEW WHAT WAS WRONG BEFORE THEY SAW THE VEHICLE AND ADMIT TO SERVICING THIS PROBLEM. MY ISSUE IS HOW MANY PEOPLE NEED TO BE INJURED OR KILLED BEFORE SOMEONE RECALLS THESE. I JUST FOUND OUT THAT THE SHAFT WHICH IS BREAKING HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH A NEW PART BUT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF THESE THINGS OUT THERE AND NO WARNING HAS BEEN ISSUED. MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP. THEY HAVE REPLACED 6 OF THESE IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS. THE DEALERSHIP IN CHEBOYGAN HAS REPLACED 5 IN THE RECENT PAST FOR A TOTAL OF 11 IN TWO DEALERSHIPS.
