Rack and pinion assembly was replaced less than a year ago due to complete failure of power steering. The rack and pinion began making noise and producing wheel vibration while turning and eventually developed a leak. Rack and pinion assembly was replaced at my expense for parts and labor. Unfortunately, car is begin to demonstrate early symptoms of it failing again. The symptoms are increased noise and vibration while turn at slow speeds or tight turns at moderate speeds. I am not looking forward to replacing this again. I note that many other complaints exist on the list for similar items, and that similar issue exist for other GM vehicles. Please provide information on actions being taken on the behalf of the consumers of this vehicle.
