Consumer Description

ON DEC. 3, 2004 I WAS TURNING INTO MY PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT WHEN MY STEERING WHEEL COMPLETELY LOCKED UP THE SERVICE SOON LIGHT WAS ON AND MY CAR WAS DINGING. I HAD TO BRAKE QUICKLY OR I WOULDNT HAVE GONE RIGHT INTO THE CORNER OF A CHURCH. I QUICKLY RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, WHICH RESTARTED THE POWER STEERING, BUT THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. I CALLED CHEVY AND THEY TOWED MY CAR AND I RECEIVED A LONER VEHICLE. THEY HAD THE REPAIR DONE FAIRLY QUICK AND SAID THEY HAD TO REPLACED THE STEERING COLUMN. I LOOKED ON THIS SIGHT AND NOTICED MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I AM JUST CONCERNED ON WHY THERE HASNT BEEN A RECALL?? I KNOW THIS COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURIES AND SOMETHING THAT COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH SHOULD HAVE ALREADY BEEN RECALLED AFTER THIS MANY OCCURRENCES. *JB EA04018_CAT
