Reported on July 13, 2003
| FOR SEVERAL WEEKS, THE STEERING IN MY 99 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX HAS BEEN FAILLING WHILE TURNING LEFT AT LOW SPEEDS. SUPRISE, SUPRISE!! TODAY, 7/13/03 I HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE WHILE PULLING INTO A CAR WASH WHEN I LOST LEFT TURN POWER STEERING AND COULD NOT AVOID HIS CAR. I WAS TURNING OFF OF A BUSY STREET AND WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED AS WELL. I AM VERY ANGRY, AS THIS IS THE 5TH TIME I WAS ALMOST KILLED IN MY 1999 GRAND PRIX. THE FIRST 4 TIMES WERE ON THE HIGHWAY, WHEN MY CAR LOST TOTAL ENGINE POWER WITH NO WARNING. AFTER 6 WEEKS OF HAVING IT IN AND OUT OF A CERTIFIED GM REPAIR SHOP, AND HAVING A COMPLETE FUEL SYSTEM OVERHAUL, THE GM MECHANIC TORE DOWN EVERYTHING UNDER THE HOOD TO FIND THAT THE FUEL SYSTEM SENSOR HAD NEVER BEEN ATTATCHED. PLEASE ADVISE ON ANY LEGAL ACTION AGAINST GM THAT MAY ME OF BENEFIT TO ME, AS WELL AS HOW TO DEMAND A RECALL ON THE 99 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX.*AK | |
