Consumer Description

FOR ABOUT A MONTH NOW, OUR POWER STEERING SEEMS TO BE TIGHTENING UP WHEN STEERING A TIGHT RADIUS LIKE TURNING A SHARP CORNER OR PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE. IT IS VERY FREQUENT OCCURRING EVERY DAY NOW. I HAVE 3 KIDS I DRIVE DAILY TO MULTIPLE LOCATIONS AND AM WORRIED ABOUT MY AND THEIR SAFETY. IF I WAS DRIVING AT A HIGH SPEED AND HAD TO SWERVE TO AVOID SOMETHING IN MY PATH THIS WOULD MAKE ME VERY NERVOUS. I HAVE READ MANY BLOGS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND GM HAD BETTER TAKE THIS INTO SERIOUS CONSIDERATION FOR A WORLD-WIDE RECALL. I CANNOT BELIEVE FOR THE PRICE OF THIS VEHICLE THE AMOUNT OF ISSUES IT HAS. VERY VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS CAR. *TR
