Description of the problem | Loss of all power steering while driving. Power steering displayed on display screen. Loss of power steering made it extremely difficult to drive and extremely dangerous. This issue could definitely cause a very serious accident. The problem then became intermittent in the following days it would take up about four time to start the car to be able to start driving without power steering. My car is not included in any of the recalls. I took to a gm dealership they diagnosed that the problem was indeed, the torque module sensor, which is the same as all the other vehicles under recall. So why is my vehicle not included?!?! I had this issue fixed today. Another issue that also just started happening in the past few weeks is my passenger airbag will intermittently will not work. The airbag display will show on my dash board and it will show that the passenger airbag is off. This light comes at random times whether or not there is someone sitting in the passenger seat. I also had this diagnosed at the gm dealership. The said it was my pps (passenger presence system) this also needs a new sensor and it will cost $700 to fix!!!! There is service bulletin regarding this for my car so they are obviously aware that this a common problem. The service tech at gm said that is extremely dangerous to drive with this (no kidding) and that if the airbag light is displayed on the dash none of my airbags will deploy. Lets hope that gm does not drag their feet on this, all someone needs is to loose their power steering, crash, and have no airbags deploy. I have not had my airbags fixed as i already had to spend $400 plus to have my power steering corrected. If gm does not correct this asap i predict they will have many more lawsuits coming their way. Lets hope i do not get into a serious accident until gm decides to pay for it or until i can save enough money to fix this safety issue. |
