Description of the problem | I have a 2003 gmc sierra 1500. When turning at low speed at times the power steering goes out for a few seconds then comes back. Yesterday i almost hit a car head on due to this problem. I was turning into a gas station and the steering went out. A car was pulling out of the station as i was pulling in and the power steering went out. I was going straight at and i struggled through it to make the truck turn. If my wife would have been driving the truck, there would have been an accident. This needs to be recalled and fixed before someone gets killed. This has been going on for the last 6 months but yesterday was a close call. |
