The contact owns a 1995 Buick Lesabre. The contact was driving 25 mph when the bolts that held the steering box to the frame fractured, causing limited control of the steering. The vehicle was driven slowly to the dealer who advised the contact that the bolts were fractured but the technician also advised that they would not make any repairs due to the age of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a local mechanic who drilled a new hole replaced the older bolts. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 225,000.
