Consumer Description

INTERMITTENT FAILURE OF STEERING WHERE STEERING BINDS TURNING RIGHT OR LEFT. HAVE TO FORCE STEERING TO COMPLETE TURNS. BRAKES ALSO INTERMITTANTLY WILL GRAB HARD WHEN COMING TO A FAST, HARD STOP. HYDRAVAC UNIT HAS BEEN REPLACED. DEALER CHACKED POWER STEERING PUMP PRESSURE PER GM TECH SUPPORT. PLAN NOW IS TO REPLACE STEERING GEAR BOX. DON'T SEE HOW THIS COULD AFFECT BRAKES. POWER STEERING PUMP HAS HAD A HIGH PITCHED WHINE SINCE IT WAS NEW. DEALER AND GM DO NOT SEEM TO BE CONCERNED WITH THAT.
