THE STEERING IS TIGHT, HARD TO TURN THE FRONT WHEELS. IT MAKES A WHINING & GRINDING NOISE WHEN TURNING. IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S RUBBING AGAINST SOMETHING IN THE STEERING COLUMN. I'VE HAD IT TO 3 MECH'S, PLUS I CALLED BUICK. THEY ALL SAID THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. IT SEEMS THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH MANY 2006 LACROSS' . THIS HAPPENS FROM 0 TO 60 MPH

STEERING
MY 2006 BUICK LACROSSE HAS A SQUEALING , MOANING NOISE, COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN, FOR 2 YRS NOW. THIS IS HAPPENING MORE & MORE, VERY HARD TO STEER. WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN I CAN'T STEER IT ANY LONGER , A BAD ACCIDENT. I'VE HAD IT LOOKED AT 4 TIMES, NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. UPON LOOKING AT THE OTHER COMPLAINTS, ON-LINE, I SEE IT COULD BE THE STEERING BOX, LINE, OR R & P. WHY HASN'T GM RECALLED THIS PROBLEM, SINCE THEY KNOW ABOUT IT?
