Consumer Description

2009 CHEVY TRAVERSE WITH 98XXX MILES ON IT. WE HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES FOR THE PAST 40,XXX+ MILES THAT WE'VE HAD IT. THE STEERING WILL INTERMITTENTLY SEIZE UP WHILE DRIVING, MAKING IT NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO MAKE A TURN. IT TAKES MY ENTIRE BODY WEIGHT TO TURN THE WHEEL AND AT TIMES IT LETS LOOSE ALMOST CAUSING ME TO OVERCORRECT. I WILL SOMETIMES HAVE TO MAKE SEVERAL CORRECTIONS BEFORE GETTING INTO A PARKING SPOT. IT IS A VERY UNSAFE SITUATION THAT GM NEEDS TO CORRECT AS IT IS SEEMINGLY A UNIVERSAL ISSUE.
