“Mounting of power steering rack suddenly broke on passenger side wheel allowing it to turn independently from left front wheel. I was backing out of a parking spot when this happened, but if this would have happened while driveing on freeway I could of crashed and lost control of car. We contacted GM and they said no recall , we feel this should be a safety recall”
NHTSA complaint #11246572, filed 2019-08, 89,096 miles“Bought car on april 1, 2015, when we did test drive, steering made weird noise and steering was real hard to turn wheel. Told dealership wouldn't buy car unless they had it looked and fixed. Dealer looked and said they had to replace something in the steering shaft and they would have to order part and when it came we bring car in, but car was ok to drive until then. Got a work order from dealer showing they would cover cost to fix the problem. …”
NHTSA complaint #10705211, filed 2015-04, 48,000 miles“When I start my car, it will stall out, not turn over or it will idle for a few seconds, then immediately shut off. I mean shut the whole car down so nothing electrical can work at which point my key will be stuck in the ignition and I cannot get it out. I am able to restart the car normally, however the steering wheel vibrates along with the body of my car while in motion and while parked. While making a left turn through a four way intersection, I lost control of my power steering and the wheel was stuck at first and then swung all the way back which spun my car around. …”
NHTSA complaint #11209261, filed 2019-05, 108,630 miles“Crank shafts position sensor causes the engine to shut off while driving down the road. Resulting in the loss of power steering, and power brakes. This occurs at all speeds from stop and go traffic at less than 5 MPH to highway speeds of 70 MPH +. This is a very dangerous issue. Adding the recall piece to the key did nothing to remedy the issue. This has been occurring for 2 years now.”
