Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN AN INTERSTATE WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL MADE SMALL JERKING MOTIONS TO THE RIGHT AND MADE A GRINDING NOISE. WHEN I EXITED THE INTERSTATE AND WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT THE STEERING WHEEL CONTINUED TO JERK ON ITS OWN. THIS CONTINUED INTERMINTELY FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. THEN I WAS TURNING INTO A GAS STATION AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. AFTER I RESTARTED THE CAR I HAD POWER STEERING AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO THE CREST CHEVROLET AND THEY REPLACED THE STEERING COLUMN AND SENSOR ASSEMBLY #10373948: COLUMN KI (06518-PC). EA04018_CAT
