NHTSA Complaint #10316892 — 2006 CHEVROLET IMPALA

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) IM HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH MY 2006 CHEVROLET IMPALA!! IT HAS JUST 30,000 MILES ON IT AND IT STARTED AT 28,000 MILES. AT START UP IT WINES BAD AND YOU CAN FEEL IT TUG AND STICK IN THE STEERING AS YOU DRIVE AT SLOW SPEEDS. IT DOES GET HARDER AT TIMES AT COLD TEMPS BUT AS IT WARMS IT FREES UP. AT TIMES IT DOES NOT WANT TO TURN IM A BIG GUY BUT MY WIFE DOES NOT WANT TO DRIVE IT. WE HAVE A 2010 CHEVROLET HHR SHE DRIVES MUST OF THE TIME. I HOPE IT DOES NOT HAVE THE SAME PUMP... REF:(GENERAL MOTORS CO. IS RECALLING 1.3 MILLION CARS TO FIX POWER STEERING MOTORS THAT CAN FAIL. THE RECALL AFFECTS 2005 TO 2010 CHEVROLET COBALTS, 2007 TO 2010 PONTIAC G5S, 2005 AND 2006 PONTIAC PURSUITS SOLD IN CANADA AND 2005 AND 2006 PONTIAC G4S SOLD IN MEXICO. THE AUTOMAKER SAID MONDAY THE VEHICLES ARE STILL SAFE TO DRIVE AND NEVER LOSE THEIR STEERING, BUT IT MAY BE HARDER TO STEER THEM WHEN TRAVELING UNDER 15 MPH.) ITS SOUND AND FEELS LIKE ITS MORE CARS THEN WHAT IS BEING RECALLED AT THIS TIME. [XXX] GM SPOKESMAN ALAN ADLER NEED TO CHECK INTO ALL LATE MODEL CARS WITH THIS PUMP... *TR
