I was hit on the head inside my 2002 suburban, wearing my seat belt at 48 MPH by an oncoming mazda miata. My steering column collapsed, I went into oncoming 3 lanes of traffic, went up a curb, went through a brick retaining wall, and hit a telephone pole. My airbag did not deploy on any of the 3 impacts. Why? Also, my driver?s seat came off the track.
The steering column is off center to the right, which means if the air bag is needed it will not protect the body in the center. Petition sent to exec sect.... Consumer purchased a 2002 chevy tahoe and a 2002 chevy suburban. Both vehicles steering column was off center. The consumer's mother drove the suburban and when she took it back to the dealership, she sat in four other suburban's. Three out of the four were worse than her vehicle. The fourth one was off center to the left. Another family member leased a trailblazer and that vehicle is fine. The consumer leased three other chevy express vans and they are fine. All vehicles were leased at the same place. Consumer was told no defect when the vehicles were first returned to the dealership.
There has been a problem with the power steering since april 2003. Vehicle lost power steering while driving. Vehicle has been to the dealer four times, but the problem still occurs.
The dealership did not technically inspect my truck that is they just looked at it according to the write up person.
Popping noise and clinking felt in steering and excessive play. It is harder to turn to the right-literally you feel the wheel going around much further than if turning to the left, although it does not need an alignment. I took the vehicle to the dealer where they replaced the bushings and fixed lower clearance arms (which had excessive clearance). Picked it up and felt the same clinking and heard the noise again!! I returned it and the service manager took a test drive-he only had to turn out of the parking lot and he knew something was wrong. They replaced the steering shaft. After driving for a few days, I once again felt the same sensation and noise-not as bad as before but still there. Steering has a lot of play in it-I can rock it back and forth and it doesn't move the vehicle. If you go over any bump in the road you feel the clinking in the steering. It has once again been taken to the dealer for repairs. I also have problems stopping at around 20-30 miles per hour, especially over bumps-it does not feel like it will stop-brake pedal seems to go to the floor-I have to release it and press again-I have had several close calls. I reported this and the service dept. Told me this is how ABS works-I don't think so. There are too many complaints on this site of the same problem. This vehicle has 10,000 miles on it.
Consumer states that has been on front collision. Please add more details. Dealer was not contacted. Ts
Steering column is not centered properly witnin vehicle and may cause severe injury if deployed. Dealer contacted. Feel free to provide any further information.
