Consumer Description
I JUST RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AND THE SECOND DAY OF HAVING IT ME AND MY HUSBAND WERE DRIVING HOME AN THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED TO TURN ONTO ANOTHER ROAD AS WE FINALLY GOT THE STEERING WHEEL TO TURN THE POWER STEERING KICKED IN AN WAS MUCH EASIER TO TURN AGAIN THIS HAPPENED FOR THE REST OF THE DAY AND WAS ONLY HAPPENING WHEN WE WOULD TURN FROM A COMPLETE STOP OR WHEN WE WOULD SLOW DOWN TO STOP. I HAVE HERD THIS WAS IN A GM BULLETIN BUT AM I STILL COVERED UNDER THE BULLETIN WE PURCHASED VEHICLE MARCH 1,2019 AN THE INCIDENT HAPPENED MARCH 2, 2019 WE HAVE OUR CHILDREN WITH US AS WELL AN IF MY HUSBAND HADN'T GRABBED THE WHEEL WITH BOTH HANDS WE WOULD HAVE WENT UNTO ON COMING TRAFFIC.
