Consumer Description

HARD TO STEER AT LOWER SPEED (WHEN PARKING OR COMING OUT OF PARKING, WHEN TURNING) IN ONE OCCASION I DID HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE WILE TURNING TO MY RIGHT, LUCKILY THERE WERE NOT SERIOUS DAMAGES AND NO INJURIES TO ANY OF THE PARTIES INVOLVED. I CAN BARELY TURN AT LOWER SPEED, I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT THE POWER STEERING PUMP NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THE RACK AND PINION AS WELL. CANNOT AFFORD OVER $3,000.00 IN REPAIR COSTS. I DID A LITTLE BIT OF RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF CHEVY OWNERS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS.
