3 Steering Rack And Pinion problem of the 2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer

Failure Date: 04/29/2009

I have been having a recurring issue with the steering on my 2007 chevy Trailblazer. I have had 3 different occasions when the vehicle will only make left turns. Today specifically the vehicle was at an intersection and I was attempting to make a right turn when the vehicle responded by only wanting to turn to the left which was a set-up for a head on collision. The vehicle would turn to the left but would not go past the centered position. In order for the steering to correct itself, the vehicle would have to be turned off and considerable force placed on the steering wheel to turn the vehicle to the left, then the pressure force would free itself and the vehicle would work correctly. Gm has to know of this issue, this is a deadly "rack and pinion" in this. I almost killed a family today with a head on collision scenario. Please help, I have had this vehicle to the dealership before, only to be told, we can't duplicate this, something is not right!.

6 Steering Rack And Pinion problem of the 2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer

Failure Date: 06/30/2003

Whining heard from engine area after warm up. Heard from 2000 rpm and up during acceleration. After reaching desired speed (city, highway, or rural) and maintaining steady speed noise goes away. Sounds like a imminent steering rack failure as dealer has changed p/s pump, changed fluid, and flushed lines trying to correct problem to no avail. Happens upon every start and accelerate.
