| 2010 | STEERING | DRIVING DOWN ROAD COMING TO STOP LIGHT. CHIME WENT OFF & POWER STEERING WAS INDICATED ON MY INFORMATION SYSTEM. MY CAR LOST ALL POWER STEERING- WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER. GLAD I WAS NOT IN THE MIDDLE OF A CURVE OR TURN WHEN THAT HAPPENED. *TR |
| 2008 | STEERING | I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM A LONG TRIP, ABOUT 100 MILES FROM HOME AND MY POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AND MY STEERING BECAME VERY HARD TO TURN. IF THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT IN THE ROAD I WOULD HAVE HAD A HARD TIME AVOIDING IT. I WENT TO THE GAS STATION AND WHEN I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON THE POWER STEERING SEEMED TO FIX ITSELF. WELL I TOOK OFF DOWN THE ROAD AGAIN AND THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME BACK ON AGAIN WITH SAME SCENARIO MENTIONED ABOVE. NOW MY POWER STEERING LIGHT COMES ON SOMETIMES TWICE A DAY EVERYDAY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FINALLY TODAY. THE DEALER CALLED ME AND SAID, "GOOD NEWS THIS PART IS COVERED." I SAID GREAT! THEN HE CALLED BACK 30 MINUTES LATER WITH BAD NEWS, HE SAID THAT THE PART WAS COVERED IN CANADA ONLY! WHAT, NOT IN FLORIDA! THIS DOES NOT EVEN MAKE SENSE. LETS JUST SAY AFTER THAT PHONE CALL HE CHARGED ME FOR THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING MOTOR AT COST. MY TOTAL COST WAS $163.45 (PART #19257875). IF I COULD HAVE DONE IT MYSELF I WOULD HAVE. I JUST SAW THIS PART ON EBAY FOR $82.85 OR BETTER YET, IF IT WAS A RECALL IT COULD HAVE BEEN FREE. AFTER HIS EARLIER PHONE CALL THERE WAS NO WAY I WAS GOING TO LET HIM CHARGE ME ANYTHING MORE. BUT, WHY AGAIN IS THIS PART NOT ON THE RECALL LIST FOR CHEVY HHRS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I GUESS WHEN SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS AND SOMEBODY GETS SUED MAYBE THERE WILL BE A RECALL. SAD BUT TRUE. PLEASE RECALL! THANKS. *TR |
