| 2009 | STEERING | I WAS LEAVING FROM A STORE MADE 2 TURNS THEN THE DISPLAY READ POWER STEERING -WHEN I GOT READY TO MAKE THE THIRD TURN I FELT THE STEERING WHEEL LOCK UP AND AS I TRIED TO TURN IT I HAD TO USE ALL MY STRENGTH TO MAKE THE TURN-THIS COULD BE POTENTIAL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND WHY DOES IT NOT GIVE YOU A WARNING-I READ WHERE PEOPLE ARE JUST TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF THEN ON TO GET IT TO WORK RIGHT BUT THIS SHOULD BE FIXED BY THE MANUFACTURE BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. *TR |
| 2008 | STEERING | AS I WAS ROLLING UP TO A STOP SIGN, THE "POWER STEERING" ALERT APPEARED ON MY INSTRUMENT PANEL. HAVING NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS WARNING BEFORE, I DIDN'T KNOW QUITE WHAT IT MEANT. AS I MADE MY LEFT TURN INTO THE INTERSECTION, I FOUND OUT! IT TOOK ALL MY PHYSICAL STRENGTH TO STAY WITHIN THE PAVEMENT. HAD MY WIFE BEEN DRIVING, SHE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL. THE STEERING FAILED TWICE MORE IN THE NEXT TWO DAYS. FORTUNATELY, I AVOIDED COLLISIONS BOTH TIMES AND HAD REPAIRS MADE AT THE DEALERSHIP AS SOON AS IT OPENED FOR BUSINESS AFTER THE 4TH OF JULY HOLIDAY. AS THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD, THE COST TO ME WAS $302.66. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS POWER STEERING MOTOR IS USED ON OTHER GM CARS THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED. THE HHR SHOULD BE INCLUDED! *TR |
