Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 1997 chevrolet tahoe steering at 83,000 miles. at 45-55 mph when turning left steering has a momentarily twitch/hang-up/resistance/jerk. after many attempts i finally found a dealership to diagnose that the steering wheel position sensor was failing & needed replacing. after searching the nhtsa i see several complaints of the same problem. it is hard to believe with a serious problem that impacts steering ability for chevrolet tahoe owners & others driving safety that there has not been a recall. hopefully something is done before there are injuries/accidents/fatalities. *jb
