Consumer Description

POWER ASSIST HAS GONE OUT 5 TIMES ON THIS CAR. STEERING THE CAR BECOMES VERY HARD AND DIFFICULT. WHEN IT HAPPENS IT'S UNEXPECTED AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. CALLED A CHEVY DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT. HE TOLD ME TO CHECK THE FUSE. I DID, NOT THE PROBLEM. I'M READING ABOUT SO MANY WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS. *TR
