My chevy silverado has had the steering fixed 3 times and its doing it again. We are not sure why its doing it, the steering wheel turn 2 times around to make a turn, even at an intersection. The garage here has worked on it and say they have had problems with that year of truck. Why hasn't there been a recall on it by now? it can cause an accident very easily.
