Description of the problem | Loss of power steering at low speeds. Initially occurred occasionally, but frequency has increased to the point where it now occurs almost daily. Prior to steering failure, i did notice a funny sound when the steering wheel was turned to far right or left. At first i thought this was just my car, but it would appear that it is a pretty widespread issue judging by the number of complaints lodged, which i am sure represent just a fraction of the owners who have experienced this issue. Given the serious safety issue involved, i am very surprised there has not been a recall since gm seems to be issuing recalls for much less serious issues. |
