Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My 2003 chevrolet trailblazer ext has had a power steering problem starting around 15k miles. the power steering goes in and out with no warnings. when i have noticed this, the problem goes away if you push the gas pedal to speed up, but if you do not the power steering goes completely out. i have had several close calls while i would be turning into a parking space and the steering would go out. you do still have control of the steering but it is extremely hard to turn the wheel. i have several friends and neighbors with the same style truck and they all have experienced a problem as well. i find it hard to believe that this problem has not been a huge issue. my dealer, which is very good, has not received any notification about this being an issues from the manufacturing, even after they have receive several complaints themselves on this issue. *nm
