problem #2

Apr 012015

Ion Redline Sedan 2.0L

  • Manual transmission
  • 62,137 miles

Power steering has always failed on the car since I've had it. Around 95,000km. One associated crash where the power steering failed, at the same time that the steering rack broke. GM has finally just fixed the power steering, yet I will need to purchase a 3rd steering rack at my own cost, and they are billing me for part of the rental in order to fix the power steering. Even though I brought it into them once, and they refused to fix it. They didn't refuse to fix other things that they could bill me for though.

My car has had many steering problems. After the steering rack failed and caused me to drive off the road, I replaced the rack and pinion. Now my car requires yet another rack and pinion. Apparently it is unrelated to the power steering recall that went unfixed for many years.
