Consumer Description

THE STEERING HAS GOTTEN VERY HARD TO STEER AT SLOW SPEEDS. IT TAKES EFFORT TO TURN IT AND ONCE TURNING, IT WILL NOT RETURN STRAIGHT BUT YOU HAVE TO FORCEFULLY TURN THE STEERING WHEEL BACK TO GO STRAIGHT INSTEAD OF IT WANTING TO GO STRAIGHT . IT IS NOT THE POWER STEERING WHICH IS WORKING FINE.A MACHANIC TOLD ME THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE FOR MANY GM CARS AND TO CHECK. SURE ENOUGH THERE ARE MANY MODELS OF MY CAR THAT HAVE THIS ISSUE AND HAVE BEEN RECALLED. I HAVE LUCKILY AVOIDED ANY ACCIDENTS SO FAR BUT THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE.
