Steering wheel and column locked up causing vehicle roll over.
Wheel column loose -- excessive play and steering wheel movement made steering difficult as wheel moved up and down and rocked at an angle to the left.dealer contacted and gm contacted--neither considered this a safety concern.when i hit my brakes my body would move forward toward the windshield because the steering column was not secure.i was forced to cover 100% cost of the repair.the dealer had to drop the engine and put a new bolt at the bottom of the steering colum in the engine area.i was told it would never happen again.this was repaired in approximately 1996.about 18 months later, the steering column started to do the same thing, but to a lesser degree.because of my work schedule, transportation, etc. I have not been able to take the car back in to the dealer for a second repair.it has been approx. Three years since the first repair.fortunately it is not as loose as the first time, but is slowly getting sloppier.i honestly believe this could be a serious condition causing an automobile accident.additionally, the dealer told me that this is a common problem in the 1987 buick.if this was truly the case, why did i have to incur the repair cost -- $189.00 to replace the bolt.
