Three problems related to steering gear box have been reported for the 1998 GMC Jimmy. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Vehicle constantly pulls to the right, have had the dealer look at it 3 times, they say there is no problem. They give me excuses such as tires need rotated, the steering is super sensitive, or it drives straight for them.
The steering wheel abruptly pulled to the right. When I tried to steer the vehicle back on the road, the steering did not respond well. The steering was out of control. This caused my vehicle to do a 180 and go off the road. The vehicle subsequently flipped 4 or 5 times. Also the airbags did not deploy even though there was front end damage.
Cannot remove key from the ignition switch. Had taken vehicle to dealership, and mechanic replaced ignition and gear box. Problem has reappeared.
