1995 Buick Park Avenue steering complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 22 of 22, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The bolts that hold the power steering pumpto the motor broke off. The dealer has repaired vehicle.
While driving at 30 MPH a 2 quarter inch bolt that holds power steering unit sheared off, causing the unit to fall, resulting in loss of control.
Power steering pump mount broke off the engine twice while driving. Delar has been contacted.
While driving at 25 MPH the power steering went out , and the power assist belt broke, causing poor steering. Also, the battery failed, and vehicle overheated.
Bolts connecting power steering unit to engine block broke off inside engine block, causing ps unit to detach and separate from engine, subsequently damaging other engine parts and drive axle. This happenned while driving on interstate highway (25-30 MPH) in snow and ice conditions. This made steering very difficult, almost impossible. The unprovoked unwarranted failure of the ps unit mounting bolts breaking off with no warning makes this a serious safety hazard. This incident could have caused serious injuries to other motorist, pedestrians, passengers, and myself. Unsuspecting failure of these mounting bolts reflects a serious defect in the engineering, manufacturing, and assembly of these parts. Repairing the damage and replacing the broken bolts appears very labor intensive and costly. This condition warrants further investigation and possible recall to replace existing bolts on other power steering units. Thank you.
