| Picked up car after being in back and forth all week at lucas chevy,in nj. the car was driven less than 40 miles after they replaced the steering rack. picked up on wed 8/8/12 after car was supposed to be done on 8/7. i had to bring the car back on 8/9/12 as the car was pulling and steering wheel off center. they never aligned the front end! i had to drop car back on 8/9/12 again that night as steering was binding and shuddering again!the dealer called me that friday 8/10 and said the pick up the car everything was fine ,it was low on fluid. when i checked the fluid on wed 8/8 the fluid was clear as power steering fluid is. when i picked the car back up on 8/10/12 i had to bring back again because p/s reservoir was soaked with fluid/i also saw they switched p/s fluid to transmission fluid!the service manager who didn't even know where the reservoir was or how to remove the engine cover wiped it clean and said have a nice day. on 8/12/12 while trying to back in driveway the steering locked and is now clunking with a metallic grind and also the brake fluid reservoir was wet with brake fluid again after cap was replaced two months ago! i also noticed they replaced both outer tie rod ends without telling me or putting it on the paperwork!the car is so dangerous it had to be towed to lucas chevrolet again!they are being dictated on what to do by gm legal as i had enough and filed a lemon law claim!its been to 3 dealers and has had a new steering column, intermediate shaft, angle sensor, srs coil, new tie rod ends and that just in the steering alone! what right is right,they did fix the clunking in the rear from the drive shaft on the first try! *tr | |||

| The first failure was at 4500 miles in the middle lane as car pulled infront and when i hit the brakes the car when into a skid and the steering wheel locked up at approx 40 mph.this defect did not crash the car. the second incident was at approx 70 on the free way as a car came through the triangle at a junction i hit the brakes the steering wheel cranked all the way to the right and locked up as did the braking system throwing me head on into a gaurd rail at approx 60. the air bags did not deploy as well. the following day at the car yard while the key was inserted by the technician the car said that that airbags depleted need replacing. | |||
