I recently took my car in because the fuel pump was cracked & they said they'd fix the steering column or whatever the recall was on the car. I get it back today & notice the steering isnt as tight as it was & it makes a weird zzzzz sound when i turn the wheel, ive neer heard any of this before since ive bought the car has anybody took their cars to get this problem fixed & are having the same issue?

 

Had the recall done on my car and didnt notice any difference in feel or noise.

 

nothing differnt with my car either

 

Maybe im just trippin then..

 

nothing different with my car and I got the power steering recall done about 8 months ago.

 

you said the steering wasn't as tight?

 

just got my steering pump recall done monday and it actually felt smoother than b4. maybe the old one was on its way.

 

got mine done and no differance, id take it back if it feels worse lol

 

Your not freaking out, your absolutely right. The mechanic did something wrong when he installed the new motor. The part is located under you dash, and has (2) 10mm bolts holding it in place. Being that I used to be a GM tech, when our dealer still had Pontiac (our only GM line) I can tell you either that he installed the seal in the kit incorrectly, or didn't install it at all. The 2.0 LSJ SS comes with a seal to put around the motor, but I believe that seal only gets put on the NON-SS cars. I would have someone look up the repair procedure for you, have them print it out, and bring it back to the dealer.

A WHINING BUZZING NOISE IS LISTED IN THE SERVICE ARTICLE FOR THIS PART REPLACEMENT AS A IMPROPER INSTALLATION.

Edit: Also make sure that the (2) bolts get torqued properly.

 

No buzzing here and the steering felt TIGHTER. It was nice. Wish it would have stayed like that.

 

Well so i was driving & all of a sudden the power steering gave out so i managed to get it home & now they said they must've installed a bad module those mechanics at the dealership are ******* worthless dipshits so i gotta bring it back tomorrow

 

i wouldent say the mechs are worthless dipshits the dealer probabky got a bad part sent to them same thing happened to me they put a brand new bad part in

 

^ still though the power steering was fine & im just irritated because its inconvienient its hard for me to take it there when i basically work from like 6am-5pm on the weekdays & idk if theres mechs around on the weekend but i doubt it either that or theyre super busy plus everything was fine before they did that haha they should've just left it alone.

 

i feel ya it took me going back 3 times and them keeping my car for a week and beating the helpp out of to get mine fixed
