Consumer Description

STEERING WHEEL POSITION SENSOR IS BAD. WHEN THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER INITIALLY DISPLAYS THE WARNING, "SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING" & "SERVICE CAR SOON", THE CAR IMMEDIATELY ENGAGES THE FRONT LEFT BRAKE AS THE COMPUTER BELIEVES THE CAR IS SLIDING. THESE ARE FAULT CODES C1286 & C1287. AT SPEED, THIS CAUSES THE CAR TO CHANGE TO THE LEFT LANE OR CROSS THE CENTERLINE INTO APPROACHING TRAFFIC. THERE IS NO FIX PROVIDED BY GM. THEY HAVE DISCONTINUED THIS PART ONLY FOR THE 1999 & 2000 MODEL YEAR. IT IS AVAILABLE FOR ALL OTHER MODEL YEARS. *TR
