STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM
I FEEL THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE UNLESS THIS PROBLEM IS REPAIRED. IT DANGEROUSLY PULLS TO THE RIGHT ALL THE TIME. ON SECONDARY ROADS IF YOU LET GO OF THE STEERING WHEEL THE TRUCK WILL JUMP HARD TO THE RIGHT. IT HAS BEEN BACK FOUR TIMES FOR REPAIR WITH LITTLE RESULTS. THE LAST TIME KAHTY STEEL AT MIDWAY CHEVY (410-957-2222) TOLD ME THAT THIS PROBLEM CANNOT BE CORRECTED, IT WAS IN THE DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE AND NOTHING COULD BE DONE, ALL THE SILVERADO'S WILL PERFORM THE SAME WAY. I AM SEEKING LEGAL HELP TO GET GM TO REPURCHASE THE VEHICLE.( DOT NUMBER: 2314 TIRE SIZE: P265/75R16 )
