Consumer Description

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL. NO MATTER WHICH WAY HE TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL, THE VEHICLE WOULD HEAD IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE FRAME THAT HOLDS THE RACK AND PINION HAD COMPLETELY RUSTED AWAY. HE FURTHER STATED THAT IT WAS VERY RARE FOR THAT TO OCCUR TO A VEHICLE. THE CONTACT HAS NOT NOTIFIED GENERAL MOTORS; HOWEVER, THE DEALER STATED THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT YET BEEN REPAIRED AND IS CURRENTLY USING A USED FRAME. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 184,000.
