Description of the problem | Steering has intermittent issue. While driving at interstate speeds it feels as though the wheel gets caught in a notch. Besides that when this is occurring the electric steering gets twitchy, and pulls 1/8-1/4in to the right every 10seconds or so. The problem went away, but have read others online with similar issues. Took my car to dealer & they could find nothing wrong. Has not occurred since. At 12,000miles months before this i started my car & had the service power steering message on the drivers information center on dash. Took in at that point & was told there was no stored codes & no issues found. I am reporting this as it could cause someone to get in an accident at interstate speeds. Passing a semi the car kept twitching/pulling the 1/8-1/4in toward the semis lane every 10seconds. Please make gm fix this obvious safety defect. |
