Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Went to back out of parking spot at doctor's office car made a "banging" noise. the power steering would not work when turning to the left. it does work when turning to the right. i went to a transmission shop because i thought something.happened in the transmission, causing the steering to bind when making a left turn. they told me that the rack was bad an not the transmission. i got on the web to find pricing for a new rack and found a web site that listed over 50 issues. *ak with the rack for gm cars. i called gm and they are not willing to help. after reading the complaints from the web site i feel that someone needs to look at safety issues reguarding such an important part (steering) of the car.
