Pontiac Sunfire Steering Rack And Pinion Safety Report | June 02, 2002
Reported on June 02, 2002
POWER STEERING LOCKED UP AT ALL SPEEDS WHEN TRYING TO TURN LEFT. TOOK TO REPAIR, WAS TOLD THAT RACK & PINION GEAR WAS COMING APART QUICKLY & NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. UPON DOING MORE RESEARCH, I SEE THAT THIS IS ALREADY BEING INVESTIGATED UNDER NHTSA # EA02-003. IT APPEARS I AM NOT THE FIRST PERSON THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. COST TO REPLACE WILL APPROACH $900, NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE COVERED IN A RECALL BY GMC. *AK | |
