| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Steering has been a problem for 2 years, but taken to dealer it will not act up. it is completely unpredictable to when the steering acts up. the steering locks up and you can move the wheel easily. then it lets go and has loose feeling. it is really noticeable while driving on curvy roads or in the mountains. i have noticed a great of complaints to your organization about the erratic steering problem with this model, gmc truck and tahoes as well. i reported it today to gm after a near accident on the freeway when my wheel lock up and i found it difficult to move out of way of an oncoming truck onto the freeway. he was not looking and almost sideswiped me. the steering was difficult to control. the manufacturer said they never heard of the problem before. *akrather hard to believe at this point. |
