The contact owns a 2006 Chevrolet Monte Carlo. While driving approximately 25 mph, the power steering suddenly failed. The failure has occurred approximately ten times and only in cold temperatures. The vehicle was taken to the dealer twice and they stated that the clamp at the end of the power steering lines was the cause of the failure. The clamp has been replaced at least six times by dealers and private mechanics; however, it has only been a temporary remedy. The length of the remedy depends on the temperature outside. The repair can last for two days or as long as three weeks. The contact called the manufacturer numerous times, but they refuse to repair the vehicle. They stated that he was responsible for the repairs. Through online research, the contact has found numerous complaints for the same failure. The vehicle has still not been repaired properly. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 45,000 and current mileage was 55,000.
