Consumer Description

WHEN MAKING A TURN AT A LOW SPEED, THE POWER STEERING FAILED. AFTER A MINUTE OR TWO AND PULLING HARD ON THE STEERING WHEEL, I HEAR A CLICK AND THE POWER STEERING RE-ACTIVATES. ANOTHER INCIDENT JUST LIKE THE FIRST ONE HAPPENED THE NEXT DAY. I DID NOT DRIVE THE CAR AGAIN UNTIL I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP. IT HAS BEEN THE FOR 3 DAYS AND THEY SAY THAT THEY CAN NOT DETERMINE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL THERE PROBLEM IS SOLVED. ALTHOUGH I DID NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT WHEN THIS HAPPENED, IT WAS VERY SCARY WHEN I FELT THAT I COULD NOT CONTROL THE TURNING OF THE CAR. I SEE THERE ARE MANY INCIDENTS DESCRIBED JUST LIKE THIS POSTED ONLINE. *TR
