Rear tie rod failed, came apart causing steering to be very hazardous vehicle shifted into oncoming lane. tie rod didn't break it was rusted from inside, the threads were worn. while the vehicle was in motion it was on a secondary road and the road is in good condition, no pot holes some patches here and there but nothing to warrant dislodging the tie rod. as stated before tie rod didn't break somehow water got in the sleeve part of the tie rod,causing it to wear. i have kept the parts that the dealership fixed just in case they are in need.

Driving and making a turn when my steering wheel and brakes locked up.

We started the car, and was backing up and there was a grinding in the steering wheel when turning it right and left. we took it to the dealer and the power steering fluid was leaking out of the power steering pump into the steering. they cleaned it all out, and added a thicker fluid on 3/ 25/2014, we started the car it happened again we took it directly to dealer and they agreed something wasn't right. they put in a new pump. we picked it up had it two days and it happened again. we took it back,and was told the dealer called gm and they couldn't do anything else because they didn't have the parts. we were told it wasn't dangerous, but i'm thinking if the power steering fail working while driving, we could crash. *tr
