Consumer Description

98 GRAND PRIX LOSES POWER STEERING WHEN TURNING LEFT AT LOW SPEED. THIS IS EXACTLY LIKE THE PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN RECALL#02V286000. THIS CAR WAS BROUGHT IN FOR THAT SERVICE RECALL BACK IN 2003 AT 39,000 MILES. THE CAR NOW HAS 95,000 MILES AND THE PROBLEM IS BACK. IT WOULD APPEAR THAT THE RECALL FIX WAS ONLY TEMPORARY. THE CARS ARE STILL POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AFTER THE RECALL FIX HAS BEEN PERFORMED. GM WILL NOT REPAIR THE CAR AGAIN SINCE THEY CLAIM THEY ONLY HAVE TO FIX IT ONCE. THE PROBLEM HAS RETURNED, AND IF IT WAS NOT SAFE THE 1ST TIME AND HAD TO BE RECALLED, IT SHOULD BE RECALLED AGAIN UNTIL THEY GET IT RIGHT. *TR
