Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: There were no events that lead up to the failiures. i have the paper work of the two times i 've taken my care to be repaired. the date i inidate below is not accurate however, just an estimated date.*ak the failure was the electric power stearing has gone out numerous times. i've had it in teh shop twice. the first time, they replaced the steering column, the second time, they claimed its not the steering column, but that it is something they can't fix but can clear out the "codes" and it will be "temporarly" fixed. according to gm " they know the problem exists in this type of car but are unable to fix it" the other problem is the that the steering is pulling to the left. the dealership mechanic claimed it be torque steering and they are unable to fix that as its "normal" i have never had a vehicle pull to the left so much as this car does. they rotated my tires to see if that would work but it didn't.
