Consumer Description
PROBLEMS WITH MY ELECTRIC ASSIST POWER STEERING IT KEEPS GOING IN AND OUT I'VE ALMOST WRECKED SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE OF IT GM OFFER TO RECALL BUT SAYS MY VIN NUMBER DOESN'T COVER THE RECALL FOR THE ELECTRIC ASSIST POWER STEERING FOR MY CAR. MY CAR WAS CLEARLY EFFECTED BY THE PROBLEMS WITH THIS PART. IT'S A SAFTEY ISSUE AND ALMOST KILLED MY SELF MY SON AND MY UNBORN CHILD. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE PASTOR AND DECIDE TO GO OUT THE FIRST TIME AND CAUSED ME TO GO OVER INTO THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC SECOND TIME I WAS DRIVING IN THE CITY AND IT DID THE SAME THING. BEING PREGNANT WITH HIGH RISK PREGNANCY MADE STEERING MY CAR ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE WHEN THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. THE ELECTRIC ASSIST MOTOR OR POWER STEERING WHATEVER YOU WANNA CALL IT IS THE WORST THING GM EVER DID. IT'S PROBABLY CAUSED A LOT OF PEOPLE TO GET SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED EVEN. AND THEY WON'T COVER MY VEHICLE UNDER THERE RECALL FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM
