Consumer Description

MY DAUGHTER HAD AN ACCIDENT IN OUR 2003 CHEVROLET 1500 SERIES PICKUP TRUCK DUE TO A STEERING PROBLEM. SHE WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN AT A LOW SPEED AND SAID SOMETHING WENT WRONG WITH THE STEERING. IT MADE A POPPING/GRINDING SOUND, SPUN HER IN A CIRCLE AND CAUSED HER TO HIT A CURB AND THEN A YIELD SIGN. WE HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO THE DEALER BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT SOUNDED LIKE A MECHANICAL PROBLEM. THE DEALER CONTACTED GM AND THEY SAID THAT THE DAMAGE WOULD HAVE TO BE REPAIRED BEFORE ANYONE COULD CHECK OUT THE STEERING. THE DAMAGE HAS BEEN REPAIRED, BUT THE DEALER SAID THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE STEERING. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT ESPECIALLY SINCE I READ AN ARTICLE REGARDING THE RECALL OF CERTAIN GM CARS WHOSE DRIVERS EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I ALSO READ IN THE ARTICLE THAT NHTSA IS INVESTIGATING THE 2500 AND 3500 SERIES TRUCKS AND FEEL THAT THE 1500 SERIES SHOULD ALSO BE INVESTIGATED.*AK
