Consumer Description

THERE IS A NHTSA SERVICE BULLETIN ID # 10024713 RELATED TO A POWER STEERING LEAK CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE PART OR DESIGN. THE BULLETIN RECOMMENDS A TIE DOWN STRAP TO PREVENT HOSE WEAR AND RESULTING LEAKAGE OF FLUID. LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND/OR DAMAGE TO THE POWER STEERING UNIT CAN RESULT FROM THIS LEAK. I BELIEVE BUICK HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM FOR SOME TIME. I QUESTION WHY GM DID NOT RECALL ALL VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM TO REPLACE THE WORN HOSE AND ATTACH A TIE DOWN STRAP BEFORE LEAKAGE WAS FOUND. LOSS OF POWER STEERING CAN BE A SAFETY ISSUE, AS SEEN WITH THE CURRENT IGNITION RECALLS. GM IS NOT PROVIDING ANY EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THIS DEFECT. *TR
