Consumer Description

THE STEERING IS TIGHT, HARD TO TURN THE FRONT WHEELS. IT MAKES A WHINING & GRINDING NOISE WHEN TURNING. IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S RUBBING AGAINST SOMETHING IN THE STEERING COLUMN. I'VE HAD IT TO 3 MECH'S, PLUS I CALLED BUICK. THEY ALL SAID THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. IT SEEMS THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH MANY 2006 LACROSS' . THIS HAPPENS FROM 0 TO 60 MPH
