1 Axle Assembly problem

Failure Date: 09/16/2005

The locking rear axle on my Chevrolet Silverado 2500hd does not release when entering a turn or intersection from a stop, causing the vehicle to continue forward and fight steering in the proper direction. I have had several near head on collisions with opposing traffic upon finally completing the turn. Chevrolet inspected the rear axle and installed a lubricant additive at approximately 10000 miles but the problem still exists. I have spoken with other owners of the same make,model,and year vehicle who have similar problems.
