IT HAD NEVER GIVEN INDICATION THAT IT HAD BROKEN NO NOISE OR RATTLE FROM THE POWER STEERING UNIT IT HAD SEPARATED FROM THE SHAFT INTERNALY , THE SHAFT CONTINUED TO OPERATE, BUT THERE WAS NO PRESURE TO TURN THE WHEELS. IT WAS VERY HARD TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL WITHOUT THE ASSIST . IT WAS LUCKY THAT I DID NOT HAVE TO MAKE A QUICK MANUVER TO MISS SOMETHING BECAUSE IT WAS TO HARD TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AND I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT .*AK

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
