4 Steering problem

Failure Date: 03/15/2004

I own a 1999 Chevrolet Tahoe that has an ongoing on and off problem with the steering whereby the steering wheel will jerk suddenly in one direction or the other (usually pulling to the right) while I am driving. The feeling is as if I have hit a patch of ice or oil. On occassion it happens once, maybe twice in a commute. On other occassions, such as this morning, it is much more frequent. It feels as if I am losing control of the car. There is no rhyme or reason as to when it happens - it happens in dry weather, wet weather (when it is particularly scary), when the outside temperature is warm and when it is cold.

5 Steering problem

Failure Date: 10/13/2003

I was/am having some steering problems on my 1999 chevy Tahoe. On oct. 13, 2003 I took my Tahoe into my dealership. Discovered my sway bar was cracked in half. They said they have never seen such a thing. I do not drive on anything but road surfaces, nor do I drive eradicated. It cost about $300 to have it replaced. The dealership told me to file a complaint and see if gm would cover cost. I never heard back from gm. Also. . . I am having some steering issues for about 5 months now, about the same time my sway bar was cracked in half. My steering wheel seems to be very sensitive and will jerk to the left or right quite often. I'll be holding the steering wheel and all of a sudden it jerk an inch or two either way for no apparent reason. It happens most often when I'm turning right, but will occur at least once or twice every mile. Some days seem better than others. I thought it might be my tires so I had them replaced and had the alignment and balanced adjusted decemeber 29th, 2003. It is still doing the same thing. It feels like I'm going to lose control of my steering. What should I do? this problem never went away after I had my sway bar replaced. Please advise. Thank you!.
