Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The steering assist on the tahoe suddenly goes away and the steering goes completly loose, and then suddenly it gets firm again. this causes erratic steering and over/under adjustment which can lead to a serious crash. i took it in 2 times and the problem still comes and goes, esspecially while in a turn. this should be a recall because of the seriousness of the problem. if the pwer steering fails it should fail to a firm steering condition not a total loss of steering!!*ak
