Consumer Description

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
