At 70 miles/hour my General Motors power steering assist was on full assist and caused an accident. General Motors secretly removed the power assist, replaced it and then jimmied the entire car to present false evidence that the accident was caused by bad driver car maintenance. They then denied the claim based on photographs they had taken of my car after they had changed everything. The accident on 7/20/2018, occurred on a highway during a sunny late morning. The car was totaled. Consumer stated I sent one letter to the Office Of Defects Investigation on 12/3/2018 with 7 questions and another letter on 9/27/2019 with 3 more questions to you. I have sent copies of these letters, per attachment. Can I get specific answers to each question from you and your phone # so I can call you after my review. It seems to me General Motors has always designed its' variable power steering assists, when they break, to go into full, open power assist, all the time and at all speeds. This is soo much more dangerous than manual steering especially without low speed warning that the power steering assist has broken. What has NHTSA done to prevent this safety risk to drivers of excess, inappropriate magnification of high speed steering.

I was driving to help a friend move about 4 block from my apartment complex on Thursday 18th July at approximately 12:20pm. About two blocks from my apartment, I looked over to my right shoulder to check my blind spot to merge into the next lane and when I turned back the car in front of me slammed on their brakes and stopped suddenly. By this time I was within two car lengths away and slammed my brakes. My car began slowing down but slid straight into the back of her vehicle. After I rear ended her I look ahead and notice a 4 car build up with the 5th car ahead making an illegal U turn in the middle of the street. My entire front of my car was pretty much destroyed with all new parts having to be bought. Because my car is front well drive the front dipped and did not do much damage to the other persons vehicle (1999 Honda Accord cope) except scratched her bumper. I only have liability so her car is being fixed and I have to pay for mine out of pocket. Because the left fender was badly dented, it hindered the front door from being able to open and I remained pinned into my car for a while. I noticed that my air bags never even went off which could have prevent the little whip lash I received. I am currently experiencing slight pains behind my neck.
