Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK I WAS SIGNALING TO SWITCH LANES FOR MY EXIT OFF THE FREEWAY. BEGAN TO MERGE AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED. LUCKILY IT'S WASN'T FOR LONG AND THE FREEWAY WAS NOT BUSY. HOWEVER THE FACT THAT MY NEWLY PURCHASED VEHICLE HAS A GLITCH IS SADDENING. WHAT'S EVEN WORSE THEIRS NO MAINTENANCE LIGHT OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, SOMETHING TO MAKE THE DEALERSHIP BELIEVE THEIR IS A PROBLEM. ONLY A FLASHING LIGHT THAT SAYS CHECK STABILITRACK, TRACTION CONTROL, POWERING STEERING AND AT THE SAME TIME MY ABS SERVICE LIGHT BEGINS TO FLASH. REALLY HOPE CHEVY PUTS OUT A RECALL.. *JS
