Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD TO HAVE 3 MAJOR STEERING COMPONENTS REPLACED ON MY 1998 CHEVY CAVAILER AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE FUTURE SAFETY OF THE CAR. THE RACK AND PINON STEERING HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE ON VEHICLE TO THIS DATE. MY UNDERSTANDING FROM THE DEALERSHIP WORKING ON IT THEY ARE USING REPLACEMENT PARTS INSTEAD OF NEW PARTS. I HAVE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURE REGARDING THIS ISSUE BUT NO SOLUTION THERE. MY NEXT STEP IS TO MAKE A COMPLAINT WITH MD STATE'S ATTORNEY OFFICE.*AK
