STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM
I HAVE COMPLAINED TO GMC ABOUT MY PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEERING AND THEY GAVE ME A FILE # C0344768. BASICALLY, THEY DIDN'T CONSIDER IT A SAFETY ISSUE BUT I WAS CONCERNED WITH MY GEAR BOX FREEZING ON ME OR SOMETHING. I HAD REPLACED THE PUMP ONCE AND ALL IT TOOK TO RUIN THE PUMP AGAIN WAS A 500 MILE TRIP. I KNOW THAT THINGS GO WRONG WITH VEHICLES BUT AT 55,000 MILES POWER STEERING SHOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE. I AM GLAD THAT IT DIDN'T CAUSE ANY INJURIES. *AIK
