Hard to steer, message service steering.

I HAVE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NOT EVEN 3 MONTHS AGO ON THE TIME OF INCIDENT, YES MIALAGE WAS HIGH BUTTHIS IS A DIESEL AND DIESELS GO MUCH LONGER THAN GAS CARS. tHE fORD DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT IN Forest Ontario, DONT TAKE ANY OWNERSHIP OF THE PROLEM AND HERE I AM STUCK WITH A HEFTY BILL NOT EVEN THREE MONTHS INTO OWNERSHIP. 13 TH OF JULY I STOPPED AT A GAS STATION ON A TRIP I DO WEEKLY AND STEERING JERKED AND BECAME HARD BACKING UP. I STOPPED THE CAR AND OPENED THE HOOD TO ADD POWER STEERING FLUID BUT COULD NOT FIND THE FILLER.

FOUND OUT THIS IS ELECTRONIC.TOOK IT TO A GM DEALERSHIP AND TOLD ME THIS VEHICLE NEEDS A NEW RACK AND PINION AND ITS ALL SEALED UP. END OF STORY 3500 CAD TO PAY. GM SHOULD PAY FOR THIS HOW CAN A CAR FAIL STEERING? THIS SHOULD BE GOOD FOR THE LIFE OF THE CAR. WHERE ARE THE TESTING RESULTS OF THE MANUFACTURER THAT PRODUCES THIS RACK AND PINION? WHO IS PASSING RESULTS UNDER THE TABLE? I HAD GM INSTALL A NEW RACK AND PINION AND SAME SH*T WITH A BRAND NEW PART. SHAME ON GM FOR ALLOWING THIS TO HAPPEN. I REALLY LOVE GM DIESELS BUT IF THIS DOESNT GET RESOLVED I WILL NEVER EVER BUY ANOTHER GM PRODUCT.
