Steering Problems of Chevrolet K1500

Experience unanticipated steering wheel movement at moderate speeds (30 to 55 mph). Steering wheel "jerks" unexpectedly while driving, especially while driving on a curved roadway (in a moderate turn at speed). Vehicle has done this for about 5 years, but problem has progressed. What do I do to fix this.

Traveling 25 miles home on interstate van had been cutting out if I pull over stop wait, can re-start and go a while. Cant predict it seemed to stay running if I went faster big mistake moved to pass it quit, at interstate speeds almost had to go into medium after yelling and waving arms and praying I got back into the right lane pulled off onto shoulder and went to pieces. It then stopped more and more finally got home and have not touched it since. I have been reading about similar events and it seems it is the crankcase positioning sensor. I am just happy to be alive. Need to fix it and sell it. Thanks for listening I am senior citizen.

Steering has mind of its own. Its like that feeling when you are sitting on a chair and just about ready to go over, you catch yourself. . . It happens in cold weather most oftn. When you turn the wheel slightly, it justs seems for a brief second the wheel is attached to nothing. Dealer said nothing is wrong. I think I will hit a truck next winter. . . . . . . . . . .

At just about any speed, when steering to left or right, steering jerks. So far, hasn't caused an accident but have had a few close calls. Will not let my wife drive this vehicle in fear of her safety and our son! problem started intermittently about 2 years ago and has progressively gotten worse. Can't count the number of failures. It happens at least 2-3 times a day while driving. After talking with many other owners, I realized my situation was not unique.

When turning a corner left or rightsteering wheel jerked in the direction that vehicle wasgoing. If it was sharper it could probably cause an accident. Took to dealer, and dealer replaced the steering sensor.

While driving along a curve, the steering wheel will jerk and cause the vehicle to swerve. This happens with slight to moderate curves, as well as severe curves. The problem began to occur within the first couple of years after we purchased the vehicle when it was new. The problem seems to worsen during cold weather. We have tried to correct the problem in several ways, but nothing has been effective.

When driving and slightly moving steering wheel, vehicle steers by itself, will change lanes, when wheel is turned 1/4 inch. Dealer contacted and is aware, but no recalls or knowledge of problem. Problem still exists. Provide further information.

When turning steering wheel it jumped, causing driver to lose control temporarily. Took vehicle to dealer and they put a pinion rod on, but that was not the problem.

While making a turn, it is more diffculty on left turns because steering becomes too hard. Dealer replaced parts on the steering system, however, problem still exists. Please provide further information.

Looseness in steering made the vehicle hard to turn, new steering gear has helped, however problem not solved.

While driving vehicle unknown pressure builds up in steering wheel. Problem seems to occur at low driving speeds.

When making a right turn steering wheel will actually turn more, which may cause a crash. Steering sensor has been replaced three times in April 1998/ Aug 1998, and april1999. Sensor was starting to go again. Please provide any further information.

The vehicle made a rattling sound while driving and the wheels felt unstable. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who stated that the rattling was coming from the intermediate shaft.
