TOP SEAL ON THE RACK & PINION STARTED LEAKING. REPLACED THE SEAL TWICE THEN REPLACED THE RACK & PINION & POWER STEERING PUMP. THEN THE RETURN HOSE BLEW OFF WHERE IT ATTACHES TO THE COOLER. PUT THE HOSE BACK ON WITH A BETTER CLAMP AND THEN THE HOSE FAILED. THE HOSE WAS JUST REPLACED & JUST WAITING FOR THE NEW POWER STEERING ISSUE.

I STARTED TO HEARING A SCRUBBING NOISE EACH TIME I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL. THE NOISE HAS GOTTEN LOUDER. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND ASKED IF IT COULD BE RELATED TO THE RECALL AND WAS TOLD NO. THEREFORE, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP IN GREENACRES, FL. AFTER A TWO HOUR WAIT FOR TESTING, I WAS TOLD THE REPAIR WOULD BE $1377.00. THE SERVICE TECH URGED ME TO GET THE REPAIR DONE ASAP BEFORE IT WORSENS AND THE STEERING WILL BE INOPERABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET CAMARO. WHILE DRIVING AT 75 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED, THE SIGNAL LIGHTS FLASHED, AND THE RADIO AND SPEEDOMETER FAILED. ADDITIONALLY, THE STEERING WHEEL VEERED TO THE RIGHT INDEPENDENTLY AND THE VEHICLE JERKED VIOLENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART AND RESUME NORMAL OPERATION. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000.

I SAW SPOTS OF LIQUID ON MY DRIVEWAY AND WHEN I CHECKED MY CAR'S VARIOUS FLUID LEVELS, THE POWER STEERING FLUID WAS SO LOW IT DIDN'T SHOW ON THE DIP STICK. I CONTACTED MY DEALER SERVICE CENTER AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT RIGHT AWAY. THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE INNER SEAL ON THE STEERING GEAR HAD FAILED. IT WAS NOT DUE TO AN ACCIDENT, COLLISION, HITTING A POTHOLE OR ANYTHING CAUSED BY ME. THIS WAS A FACTORY FAILURE AND A PROBLEM THAT IS VERY RARE ON CARS WITH MILEAGE THAT LOW (SO I WAS TOLD). THE CAR WAS JUST OVER 5000 MILES OUTSIDE ITS FACTORY WARRANTY AND THE REPAIR COST ME $1034.07. FORTUNATELY, THE POWER STEERING PUMP WAS NOT DAMAGED FROM BEING COMPLETELY OUT OF FLUID OR THE REPAIR WOULD HAVE BEEN EVEN MORE COSTLY. THE MOST DISTURBING THING IS THAT I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING OF THIS PROBLEM AT ALL. IT WAS A SUDDEN AND COMPLETE FAILURE. *TR

AT 70 MILES PER HOUR THE BOOT COVER WOULD BLOW OFF. WENT TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS THEY DIDNT KNOW WHAT TO DO.I WAS LOOKING AT ONE ON SHOWROOM FLOOR AND FIGURED OUT TWO BOLTS WAS MISSING ON MINE. THEY FIXED IT AND GIVE ME A NEW BOOT END OF THAT PROBLEM. THE OTHER PROBLEM WHEN YOU TURN STEERING ALL THE WAY TO LEFT IT MAKES A GRINDING NOISE. ONE DEALER TOLD ME HE COULDT HEAR ANYTHING. THE NEXT DEALER TOLD ME THEY ALL DID IT. THE NEXT DEALER CHANGED REAR END OIL. STILL MAKES NOISE. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE BUMP STOP LETS IT GO TO FAR. IF YOU BRING THE WHEEL BACK A HALF INCH IT QUITS THIS IS MY WIFES CAR SHE REALLY LIKES THIS CAR. *TR
