Temporary loss of steering. On 4 occasions within the past 2 weeks I had recently left my residence and was making either a left or right turn. At the start of the turn I could not steer the car. It was as if something was broken, I did hear a squeal. I was able to return home (about 2 blocks) and again checked the power steering fluid and the serpentine belt. The fluid was correct and the belt is about 8 months old. For the recall #03v527000 in 2003 I did go to the Chevrolet dealer in ft. Myers and they checked the vehicle and told me that the car was ok.

When turning the steering wheel towards the right, the steering wheel locked up, which caused the consumer to lose control of the vehicle. The owner took the vehicle to the dealership to be inspected. Please provide any further details.
