Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING, WHEN YOU ACCELERATE, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND YOU CAN'T STEER THE CAR, LOSING ALL CONTROL. IT LOCKS UP FOR A SECOND OR TWO. THIS CAR WAS RECALLED FOR THE STEERING AND MANY OTHER ISSUES, AND WE TOOK IT IN TO BUNNIN CHEVROLET IN CULVER CITY, CA FOR THE REPAIRS. THEY REPAIRED IT UNDER THE RECALL, BUT IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THE STEERING STILL LOCKS UP AND IT WILL DO IT MULTIPLE TIMES IN ONE DRIVING SESSION.
