Streeing on vehicle jerks from one side or other , sometimes it pulls real hard to one side, and sometimes not hard at all. Contacted dealer, and they have tried to fix problem twice already, and problem still occurs. Installing a new sensor solved the problem. Drive belt and tensioner replaced because the steering is hard to turn.

In left turns the vehicle's power steering malfunctioned, causing the steering wheel to lock up and loss of vehicle control can occur. Dealer cannot determine problem.

While driving at low speeds power steering locked up. Vehicle was taken to the dealer numerous times for inspection, and mechanic could not duplicate the problem.

While driving down the road the steering wheel did not seem to want to turn but then it would suddnely and violently jerk to which ever direction the turn was in. This was a very serious problem because you never knew when it would jerk and when it would not. It finally became so bad that it did it all the time! this was a very upsetting problem because if you were not carefull you could easily loose control and in oneida tenn. There are some very curvy roads with steep embankment, and there are not guardrails on a lot of there roads. It was very distressing especially because the problem actually started just several miles before the warranty expried I just had not figured out what the problem was since I had never expericenced a problem like this!!.

Turning left in town speed steering would "skip" and catch.

Truck pulls to right at any speed. Even more when you apply the brakes. Dealer wants me to pay 150. 00 dollars for allignment. Dealer said knock outs have to be taken out that is why it is so much. I am willing to pay for allignment not for knock outs to be removed. Ithink that should have been done at the factory.

Power assist steering faded to nothing while driving. Dealer replaced major front suspension components, including tires, but the steering failure still persisted. The cause of the failure had not been determined. Manufacture rwas not claiming any responsibility at this time.

Severe momentary oversteer both left and right turns.

Firestone wilderness/at tires had a bubble in it due to tread separation which caused a steering problem. Dealer has been contacted.

I have two gm trucks one a 1997 Chevrolet Silverado and one a 1997 GMC sierra k-2500 this will be the third replacment of this steering part, it is a danger becuse when you turn the vehicle over steers like you just hit ice. Its a similar feeling to hiting the brakes and the wheel being jerked out of your hand. This would be very hazardest on ice covered roads. Both trucks have only about 42k mi. And have had this problem since about 15k mi. I have replaced three now. The dealers say it is a very common park to replace.
