Consumer Description
EXCESSIVE STEERING WHEEL PLAY OR (LASH). WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, I CAN TURN THE STEERING WHEEL 3 INCHES PAST CENTER TO EITHER THE LEFT OR RIGHT AND THE TRUCK HAS NO RESPONSE. THIS IS EXTREMELY STRESSFUL BECAUSE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO MAINTAIN YOUR LANE BECAUSE OF CHANGING ROAD GRADES AND CROWNS. ALSO THE TRUCK DID NOT EXHIBIT THIS BEHAVIOR UNTIL THE 15,000 MILE MARK. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE STEERING BECAME EXTREMELY LOOSE. GM HAS RELEASED TSB DOCUMENTS (PIT5501F) DEALING WITH IT, BUT IT DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING A 3/4 TON TRUCK WITH UNCONTROLLABLE STEERING!!!!!
