Advice: Power Steering covered under Powertrain warranty?
Hi Gang,
Anybody know if your power steering issues fall under the powertrain warranty? I can't find the words power steering or steering components under the drive systems but it would seem to imply it.
I recently added a supercharger and now I am having "service" power steering issues (power goes out) out of the blue but usually after running for at least 10mins. I posted the pic in a previous thread. One response to my thread mentioned they had the rack replace when they were having similar issues. I am reluctant to take back to the dealer until I get a good handle on what I will face when speaking to the dealer. Looks like to me GM tries to lump everything under powertrain warranty in my opinion.
Thoughts?
Ideas?
I live in Houston if you know a dealer that will work with me please let me know.
Thanks,
Phil

The power steering system is not part of the "powertrain".

Power steering system should be covered under the 3yrs / 36K miles bumper to bumper warranty !!
