Consumer Description

WE HAVE A 1999 GMC YUKON AND HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE FRONT END. WE HAVE SPENT NUMEROUS AMOUNTS OF MONEY ON THE FRONT END AND ALIGNMENT SEARCHING FOR THE CAUSE OF ERRATIC STEERING. WHEN LEAST EXPECTED, THE STERRING WHEEL WILL JERK EITHER RIGHT OR LEFT AND IT IS FRIGHTENING. WE HAVE NOW DEVELOPED AN OCCASSIONAL BUT EXTREME SHIMMY EFFECT THAT RESULTS IS PULLING OFF THE ROAD AND STARTING OVER TO GET THE VEHICLE UNDER CONTROL. SO FAR ALL SERVICE WAS GEARED TOWARDS FRONT END BUT IT HAS COME TO OUR ATTENTION THAT THE STEERING MAY IN FACT BE THE PROBLEM. WE FOUND NO RECALLS APPLIED TO THIS BUT I DID LOCATE THE NHTSA INVESTIGATION REGARDING THIS. TO BE ABLE TO APPLY A CERTAIN INCIDENT DATE..NO I CANNOT. IT HAS BEEN ON-GOING SINCE WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED IN 2003. THERE HAS BEEN NO INJURY OR DEATH..PRAISE GOD..BUT WE ARE CONCERNED EVERY TIME WE DRIVE IT. THE LAST SERVICE ISSUE WAS IN FEBRUARY 2005, AND AGAIN THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN ASSUMED FRONT-END ALIGNMENT. IT DID NOT FIX IT.
