Consumer Description

I DROVE THE DESCRIBED CAR AS A RENTAL FROM ENTERPRISE WHILE MY CAR IS BEING REPAIRED. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR ON A MOSTLY STRAIGHT PARKWAY AT 55 MPH, AND SUDDENLY THE STEERING WHEEL JERKED SHARPLY TO THE LEFT, ON ITS OWN, AND I LEFT THE ROADWAY AND HIT THE GRASS MEDIAN, GOT THE CAR BACK ON THE ROADWAY, SHAKEN, AND CONTINUED DRIVING VERY CONFUSED AS TO WHAT JUST HAPPENED. TURNS OUT THESE CARS HAVE A STEERING DEFECT THAT APPARENTLY IS NOT CAUSING A RECALL, AND IT IS NOT BEING ACKNOWLEDGED BU CHEVY. BLOGS OF OWNERS DESCRIBE THE EXACT SAME EVENT WHICH HAS PITTED CHEVY OWNERS AGAINST THE COMPANY WHICH IS NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THE DEFECT. I WAS TOO SCARED TO GET IN THAT CAR AGAIN. PLEASE ADVISE ME IF A RECALL HAS FINALLY OCCURRED FOR THIS SCARY DEFECT.
