Steering is almost impossible to turn at low speeds such as turning into a parking space. Occurs all the time. Appling the brake may play a part.

I have had problems with my abs and traction control,I contacted gm on the matter and they told me they dont cover the braking system,I do consider this to be a safety hasserd,as my brake pedal jumps when I apply the brakes,id like to get satisfaction on this issue.
