STEERING
POPPING NOISE WHILE SLOW SPEED TURNING FIRST REPORTED TO A LOCAL GM DEALER IN 2/13. DEALER CONFIRMED SHAFT WAS DEFECTIVE BUT DIDN'T THINK IT WAS DANGEROUS YET, SO WAS NOT REPAIRED. AFTER LEARNING IN 7/14 THAT GM HAD JUST ISSUED A RECALL ON THESE SHAFTS, (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 14E044000), I RETURNED TO THE SAME DEALER TO FINALLY GET IT REPLACED. SERVICE MANAGER AGAIN STATED THAT THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT WAS DEFECTIVE. HOWEVER, GM MANAGEMENT HAS STEADFASTLY REFUSED TO ALLOW THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE MY UNIT BECAUSE MY VEHICLE'S VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE THEIR LIST OF RECALL ELIGIBLE MODELS! *TR

STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
WAS RECALLED FOR A ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ASSIST. NOT EVEN TWO MONTHS LATER THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM HAS COMPLETELY FAILED. I CANT EVEN GO A QUARTER MILE DOWN THE ROAD.IT WILL DRIVE A LITTLE DOWN THE ROAD AND POWER STEERING WILL FLASH ON THE DASH AND TURNS ARE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. I HAVE TO SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY IF THERE ISN'T A PLACE TO PULL OVER WITHOUT MAKING A TURN. I CALLED GM AND THEY TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO GET IT FIXED AND THEY WOULD NOT REIMBURSE ME FOR WHAT IT COSTS.I DON'T THINK THIS IS RIGHT CONSIDERING THAT THIS WAS THE ONE THING THAT THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO FIX I CANT AFFORD TO FIX IT. I HAVE PUT OVER TWO GRAND IN THIS CAR ALL WITHIN A YEAR. MIND YOU THIS IS MY ONLY CAR AND I CANT GET ANOTHER ONE. I THINK THAT GM SHOULD TAKE SOME RESPONSIBILITY AND FIX THIS BECAUSE THIS COULD COST SOMEONE THEIR LIFE IF THEY AREN'T WILLING TO TAKE CARE OF THIS ISSUE. *TR
