Example complaints

“Power steering lines under the clamp that bolts to the drivers side strut tower have rusted through due to moisture and vibration causing a loss in fluid damaging the pump. After doing a search I found numerous posts about this same issue on the trailblazer, envoy and Saab. Poor design and lack of quality caused the failure.”
