I HAVE A 97 CHEVROLET LUMINA AND STARTED EXPERIENCING STEERING TIGHTNESS WHEN TURNING LEFT. I HEARD ABOUT A RE-CALL SO I TOOK MY CAR TO THE CHEVROLET DEALER FOR HELP. I ASKED THEM IF THEY COULD CHECK THE LOWER PINION BEARING TO SEE IF THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME THEY KNEW NOTHING ABOUT ANY RECALL AND SAID THAT MY POWER STEERING PUMP WAS OUT. THEY COULDN'T GET THE PART FOR A WEEK. I WAS AFRAID TO CONTINUE DRIVING IT THE WAY IT WAS SO MY HUSBAND CHANGED THE PUMP. THERE WAS NO DIFFERENCE IN THE STEERING. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER, THEY SAID THE PUMP WAS FINE BUT THEY WOULD HAVE TO FLUSH THE SYSTEM BECAUSE PARTS FROM THE PUMP PROBABLY GOT INTO THE RACK. I AGAIN EXPLAINED TO THEM ABOUT THE UPCOMING RECALL AND THEY TOLD ME IT COULDN'T BE THE PROBLEM. IT WAS GOING...
LUMINA BECOMES DIFFICULT TO STEER WHEN MAKING LEFT TURNS OR EVEN SLIGHT LEFT TURNS, SUCH AS FROM AN ACCESS RAMP ONTO THE FREEWAY. STEERING LOCKS UP, AND VEHICLE MUST BE BROUGHT TO A STOP UNTIL STEERING UNLOCKS, AND I CAN COMPLETE THE TURN. STEERING HAS LOCKED UP AT SPEEDS AS LOW AS 15 MPH AND AS HIGH AS 45 MPH. *LA
WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH THE STEERING COLUMN BROKE, DEALER REPLACED THE POWER STEERING COLUMN.*JB
