Pontiac Grand Prix Steering Rack And Pinion Rack Safety Report | Dec 26, 2002
Reported on Dec 26, 2002
| I AM DRIVING MY FATHER-IN-LAW'S GRAND PRIX (HE IS IN A NURSING HOME). THE POWER STEERING ON MY 97 GRAND PRIX GTP FAILED COMPLETELY. HAD THE CAR NOT BEEN ON A SIDE STREET (AS OPPOSED TO AN EXPRESSWAY), IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I'VE CONTACTED SEVERAL PONTIACE DEALERS AND GM/PONTIAC AND WAS TOLD THEY NO NOTHING OF A RECALL AND THAT I SHOULD PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED AND THEY MIGHT REIMBURSE ME IF THEY FIND OUT ABOUT A RECALL AND IF IT MEETS THEIR SPECS. EVEN AFTER I GAVE THEM THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID THEY STILL SAID THEY HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF THIS. HOW COULD THEY NOT??? I HEARD ABOUT IT MONTHS AGO ON THE NEWS. | |
