problem #2

Malibu

  • 45,000 miles
Complaint received via E-mail. While my family and I were driving home from a restaurant accelerator pedal locked open while approaching our exit. It was only by my quick reaction and cool head that my family was spared a horrendous accident. Vehicle was towed to a dealership. Just last week the power steering pump failed, and needed to be replaced.. this tribute was a nightmare, considering the age of this vehicle and only 45,000 kilometers.

Intermittently power steering assist failed while driving. When this occurred the steering wheel became difficult to turn. Then, power steering assist suddenly engaged, sometime resulting in over steering. Dealership performed a diagnostic test that indicated that power steering pump needed to be replaced.
