Pontiac Grand Prix Steering Hydraulic Power Assist System Safety Report | Dec 15, 2001
Reported on Dec 15, 2001
| I EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN AND COMPLETE FAILURE OF MY STEERING SYSTEM AND NARROWLY ESCAPED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. I CONTACED PONTIAC CUSTOMER CARE AND THEY HAVE BEEN TOTALLY UNHELPFUL. THIS RESULTED IN A $1200 OUT OF POCKET REPAIR. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THESE DEFECTIVE STEERING SYSTEMS OR PEOPLE WILL BE KILLED DUE TO THE SUDDEN NATURE OF THE FAILURE. I WILL CO-OPERATE FULLY WITH ANY FORMAL NHTSA INVESTIGATION IF IT LEADS TO A RECALL.*AK | |
