Consumer Description

I BOUGHT A USED SUBURBAN AND SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT I HAVE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE STEERING. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE STEERING WHEEL JERKS SUDDENLY TO THE RIGHT. I REALLY HAVE TO KEEP A TIGHT GRIP ON THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE DRIVING, ESPECIALLY WHEN ON A ROAD WITH ALOT OF TWISTS AND TURNS BECAUSE IT JERKES HARD AND IS VERY DANGEROUS. I WORRY THAT WITH THE STEERING WHEEL JERKING IT IS GOING TO CAUSE A WRECK BECAUSE IT SOMETIMES HAS SENT ME TOWARDS THE LANE NEXT TO ME OR OFF THE ROAD COMPLETLY, THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT JUST HAPPENS EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE, IT HAPPENS EVERYTIME I AM DRIVING. I HAVE SEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS LISTED ON THIS SITE FOR THE EXACT SAME THING. I JUST WONDER IF THERE IS A RECALL OR WHAT WILL REMEDY THIS PROBLEM.
