Pontiac Grand Prix Steering Rack And Pinion Safety Report | Jan 10, 2002
Reported on Jan 10, 2002
| WHEN STEERING SHARPLY TO THE LEFT,,,THE CAR WOULD FIGHT THE INPUT TO STRAIGHTEN THE CAR AFTER THE TURN...SO WHILE TURNING THE WHEEL TO THE RIGHT AFTER A SHARP TURN TO THE LEFT,,THE STEERING WOULD BECOME VERY STIFF, ALMOST LIKE REVERTING TO MANUAL STEERING AND NOT POWER STEERING. BECAME DANGEROUS BECAUSE OF THE DRIVER INPUT NEEDED TO MAINTAIN DIRECTIONAL CONTROL. THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD TRY TO STOP YOUR INPUT OF A TURN. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION IF INVOLVED IN A MANEUVER TO AVOID SOMETHING IN ROAD. HAD TO HAVE STEERING RACK REPLACED. THANK YOU. *AK | |
