Reported on Aug 19, 2009
| INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) I AM THE OWNER OF A 2007 PONITAC TORRENT WHICH HAS THE WORSE SYSTEM IN PLACE THAN THE COBALT AND G6 YOU JUST RECALLED. IT HAS AN ELECTRONIC ASSIST POWER STEERING UNIT IN THE TORRENT THAT HAS COMPLETELY FAILED ME TWO TIMES, BOTH WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, AND HAS COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY LOCKED UP WHERE I CAN'T EVEN GET IT OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC, AND IT HAS TO BE TOWED FROM THE SPOT IT STOPS AT. AND DEALER I HAVE DEALT WITH HAS TOLD ME TO GET RID OF IT BECAUSE IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. BUT WITH THE MONEY I HAVE ALREADY SPENT, IT IS TOUGH TO NOW BUY ANOTHER CAR. THE UNIT HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE, AND I EXPECT TO HAPPEN AGAIN ANY TIME NOW. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AS WELL. IT HAPPENED LAST AUGUST, AND ABOUT 1 1.2 YEARS AGO. I HAVE THE BILLS WITH THE CORRECT DATES AT HOME. TR UPDATED IVOQ 06/02/10 | |
