Risk and remedy
Risk

Any switches already installed in vehicles will be replaced by GM dealers as part of NHTSA recall 14V-047, free of charge. UCI-Fram's purchasers should contact UCI-FRAM Group at 1-800-890-2075. GM vehicle owners requiring additional information on that recall campaign should contact GM at 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), 1-800-762-2737 (Pontiac) or 1-800-553-6000 (Saturn).

I am actually from ottawa, ontario canada. I could not enter that below. this IS a persistent issue. It occurs approx. Twice a month. my car at random intervals of time will beep four times and my readout on the dashboard will give me a powersteering message. My speedometer and rpm gauges will go up and down clearly not displaying the changes in my driving at the time. The car begins to kick back really hard with enough force to bounce me and anyone else in my car at the time in our seats. These kicks have no rhyme or reason and are not happening as the car shifts gears. In addition when you attempt to stop when this IS happening the car will shake you to a stop which reminds me of the big rail gun in a rambo movie as I hold on to the steering wheel. I have been to a dealership. They have seen the issue and driven with it happening. They tell me that until it becomes more persistent and they can see it almost every time I turn the key they will not be able to find the problem even though they have had the codes come up twice while the car IS in their care. I just want my car to be safe so that when I travel with my family I can be confident that nothing will happen because of a stupid malfunction. *tr

A woman blew a tire and lost control of her vehicle and ran into my trailer and came at me head on I swerved away from her and jackknifed into the median. My question IS ,was this her fault? Are you suppose to be in control of your vehicle at all times? People are telling me that this was not her fault. There was no defects found with her tires. Please answer soon. I would really like to know the answer to this. If a trailer driver blows a tire,and runs into someone isn't it always the drivers fault? *Tr
