| 2005 | STEERING | ON MAY 6TH 2011 I WAS TRAVELING TO WORK ON THE 17W EXPRESSWAY. AFTER EXITING THE EXPRESSWAY AND MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN ON TO GRANT AVENUE WHERE I AM EMPLOYED MY STEERING WHEEL FELT FUNNY. UPON MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN IN TO THE PARKING LOT MY STEERING COMPLETELY WENT LEAVING THE STEERING WHEEL TO SPIN COMPLETELY AROUND WITH NO CONTROL OF THE TIRES WHAT SO EVER. THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE COMPARTMENT THAT HOLDS THE RACK AND PINION. IF THE STEERING WHEEL HAD BECAME DEFECTIVE WHILE TRAVELING ON THE EXPRESS WAY AT SIXTY FIVE MILES AN HOUR THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NOTHING I COULD DO BUT BRAKE AND GOD KNOWS WHAT WAY THE WHEELS WOULD HAVE TURNED AND HOW MANY INCIDENT PEOPLE I WOULD HAVE WIPED OUT BEFORE THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP PROBABLY FLIPPING BECAUSE OF LACK OF CONTROL. THIS IS A SERIOUS SITUATION AND I SEE THAT THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS ON CHEVY PRODUCTS FOR THIS EXACT DEFECT. PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE KILLED AND PROBABLY HAVE BEEN PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT. THIS HAS TO BE RECTIFIED IMMEDIATELY. I BELIEVE CHEVY SHOULD RECALL THESE VEHICLES IMMEDIATELY. MY VIN# IS AS FOLLOWS: [XXX]. THIS REPAIR IS COSTING ME $670.00 WITH COST OF REPAIR AND TOWING. I BELIEVE THAT I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR CHEVY'S NEGLIGENCE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR |
