Component | STEERING |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | While turning corners, power steering locks making it difficult to turn the wheel. Feels very dangerous as you never know when it is going to occur. I am getting to a point where i am getting nervous to drive the vehicle. Especially with my kids in the car! This occurs even if the vehicle is warm and also after a cold start. It appears as though this is an issue with this model and i cannot believe that gm has not done a recall. I was told by a mechanic the power steering rack needs to be replaced, but i have also seen other online complaints the pump also needs to be replaced. This repair is very costly and my truck is not that old! I have already brought the vehicle in for the previously named recalls. |
