NHTSA Complaint #10632570 — 2006 PONTIAC TORRENT

GOT TO WORK AND WHEN I PUT IT IN REVERSE THE STEERING FROZE AND ACTED LIKE MANUAL STEERING. FOUND OUT IT HAS THE DEFECTIVE ELECTRIC STEERING MOTOR THAT MOST OF THE GM'S FROM 2005 - 2010 WERE RECALLED AND FIXED AT NO COST BUT THEY DIDN'T PUT THE TORRENT ON THAT LIST EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AS WITNESSED FROM THE COMPLAINTS ON THE GM SITE OF STEERING FREEZING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH NO WAY TO TURN OR CONTROL THE VEHICLES. THEY STILL DID NOTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEMS AND ONE PERSONS TORRENT ROLLED OVER FROM THE STEERING FREEZING AND NOT BEING ABLE TO TURN. I WANT TO KNOW WHY GM HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS ON THE PONTIAC TORRENT? OURS WILL COST US $1300 PLUS LABOR TO FIX IT AND IT SHOULD NEVER HAVE COME TO THIS GOING BAD BUT SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPAIRED BEFORE WE PURCHASED IT USED. THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR PUTTING PEOPLE AND THEIR FAMILIES IN DANGER FROM THIS KNOWN ISSUE BY GM AND THEY SHOULD BE SUED FOR ENDANGERING OUR KIDS AND FAMILIES BY NOT RECALLING AND FIXING IT. *TR
