The steering was hard and had it inspected. The results being a worn out steering rack that was leaking power steering fluid. The ase certified master mechanic stated that this is a common problem in gm vehicles. Cars are engineered products - the user should not have to replace such parts on a regular basis because, the customer buys cars based on the reliability of mechanical and hydraulically engineered components. I am disappointed that it is a constant mental stress for the owner to actually 'expect' known problems that gm is not ready to acknowledge - though comparable japanese and german cars run without such problems in the similar components for the life of the car.
