Consumer Description

POWERSTEERING AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON. THERE IS THEN NO POWERSTEERING AND THE CAR LURCHES FORWARD AS I ACCELERATE. WHEN STOPPING THE CAR ACTS AS THOUGH IT IS GOING TO STALL. THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT KEEP SPEED THE NEEDLE JUST MOVES UP AND DOWN. TOOK CAR IN TO CHEVY DEALER WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY BUT THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND PROBLEM. THE CAR CONTINUES TO DO THIS JUST ABOUT EVERY DAY AND NOW IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. *TR
