Consumer Description

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
