The rear main seal, front harmonic seal and power steering pump shaft seal are leaking. The vehicle has 96,000 miles on it. This should not be. I took it to a shop last week to have problem fixed. Need help very expensive. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Express

  • 111,000 miles
The contact owns a 2001 Chevrolet Express 1500. While attempting to make a right turn into a parking lot, the power steering failed. There were no warning lights illuminated on the instrument panel. The steering became extremely stiff and required all of the contact's strength to maneuver. An independent mechanic stated that the steering shaft snapped off inside the steering. He further stated that this failure was common for this specific make and model vehicle. The failure and current mileages were less than 111,000.
