Consumer Description
RACK & PINION WAS LEAKING. WAS REPLACED AT DEALERSHIP. POWER STEERING PUMP ALSO REPLACED. GMC DID NOT MAKE THIS PUBLIC THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH PUMP. REPLACED PUMP FLUID WITH A DIFFERENT TYPE THAN WAS ORIGINALLY INSTALLED. MANY GMC VEH. HAVE THIS PROB. THE FACT THAT GMC CHANGED FLUIDS IN THE STEERING SYSTEM COULD HAVE CAUSED THE ORIGINAL TO FAIL. GMC WILL NOT ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING SYSTEM. PLEASE CHECK WITH GMC AMD GET THE TRUTH.
