GM Recalls 1.3 Million Cars Over Power Steering Complaints
The Detroit Free Pressreports that GM is recalling 1.3 million cars because of power steering complaints. The recalled vehicles include 2005-2010 Chevrolet Cobalts, 2007-10 Pontiac G5s, ·2005 - 2006 Pontiac Pursuit (Canada) and 2005 - 2006 Pontiac G4 (Mexico). The recall follows a National Highway Traffic Safety Agency probe.
"After our in-depth investigation, we found that this is a condition that takes time to develop. It tends to occur in older models out of warranty," said Jamie Hresko, GM vice president of quality, in a statement. “Recalling these vehicles is the right thing to do for our customers' peace of mind.
GM said even if the problem occurred, the vehicles are “safe to drive” but would require more steering effort under 15 m.p.h., with a chime and “Power Steering” warning light coming on.
