At any speed my power steering started to fail intermittently, with any specific warning. This has occurred 4 times in the last 7 days, luckily no one was hurt but the last time I did go off the road and immediately brought it to my dealership. They contend they have not found any problem, and that the diagnostics do not show any issue.
Dealership on 08/13/2001 replaced the cradle. Vehicle was under warranty in November 2001, and dealer replaced shaft. Cradle failed 2 years later, and needed to be replaced again, also, had a steering problem.
The stiff/tight steering on my Impala is causing my hands, wrist, elbow, shoulders and back to become very painful fingers. My fingers are bent and twisted to fit to the contour of the steering wheel. With this tight steering the texture on the wheel wears off and the operator has to grasp the wheel harder to turn the wheel. Have to use two hands and grip wheel hard to turn it. . Read more...
