Pontiac Grand Prix Steering Wheel And Handle Bar Safety Report | Mar 11, 1996
Reported on Mar 11, 1996
| I HAVE ALREADY REPORTED THIS, HOWEVER MY PROBLEM IS THAT GENERAL MOTORS REFUSES TO FIX THIS AT THEIR COST AND IT IS A POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD. THE STEERING COLUMN EMITS A SMOKE AND BURNING SMELL. THEN IN TURN MAKES THIS TIME THE TURN SIGNAL INOPERABLE AT TIMES. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AROUND 6 TIMES AND THE FUMES COMING FROM IT IS AWFUL I AM AFRAID ITS TOXIC OR THAT A FIRE MAY START. I SENT GM A LETTER WITH ALL THE RECURRING PROBLEMS AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT AT THEIR COST. THEY SAY THEY CAN'T HELP ME. I FEEL I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO KEEP PAYING FOR A RECURRING PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY ONE THAT MAY RESULT IN A FIRE. SHORTING OF WIRES IN THE STEERING COLUMN DOESN'T SEEM TO BE SERIOUS ENOUGH FOR GM TO TAKE ACTION. | |
