Consumer Description
AFTER DRIVING FOR MORE THAN 10-30 MIN, AT ANY SPEED BUT USUALLY AT OR ABOVE 50 MPH, THE POWER STEERING WOULD MALFUNCTION INTERMITTENTLY, STEERING/HANDLING BECAME DIFFICULT. FEELS LIKE IT'S OVER-CORRECTING OR IS ICE-SKATING AROUND THE LANE WHEN KEEPING THE WHEEL STRAIGHT. OCCASIONALLY HHR WILL BUCK WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, WOULD SLOW DOWN TO 55-65MPH AND STILL EXPERIENCE ROUGH BUCKING & POOR HANDLING. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP TO FIX WHAT I THOUGHT WAS AN ALIGNMENT ISSUE, THEY SAID THERE WERE NO OTHER PROBLEMS, BUT STILL EXPERIENCE THEM ALMOST DAILY. ALSO HAVE HAD TROUBLES REMOVING THE KEY FROM IGNITION AFTER SHIFTING THE CAR INTO PARK. *TR
