STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM
TRUCK STEERS ERRACTICALLY WHEN TAKING (NAVIGATING CURVES) A MILD RIGHT TURN AT MODERATE SPEEDS (20-50MPH). THIS DOES NOT OCCUR ON LEFT TURNS AND SEEMS TO MANIFEST ITSELF BY GIVING MORE "ASSIST" TO STEERING EFFORT THAN NEEDED. WHEN STEERING INTO A CURVE, WITH A STATIC, STEADY GRIP AND FORCE ON THE STEERING WHEEL, THE POWER ASSIST MECHANISM SUDDENLY "MAKES IT EASIER" TO STEER, HENCE CAUSING OVERSTEER. ONE DEALER CLAIMS THAT A STEERING POSITION SENSOR HAS GONE DEFECTIVE. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE AND IT WAS BROUGHT TO THE FOREFRONT WHEN TODAY, DRIVING AT 30MPH, I NEARLY OVERSTEERED INTO A YOUNG WOMAN AND HER BABY ON THE SIDEWALK WHEN NEGOTIATING A VERY MILD RIGHT CURVE. I'M GETTING THIS FIXED AT THE NEXT OIL CHANGE ...

THE NUMBERS FAILURE AND FATALITIES AND ANYTHING THAT HAS A SERIES OF 9 IS ONLY IN THE BOXES SO THAT THE FORM WOULD ADVANCE TO THE NEXT STEP.

I ALSO HAVE A RATTLE UNDER THE VEHICLE THAT THE DEALER SAYS THAT IS THE SHOCKS. THEY HAVE TIGHTENED THEM UP BUT THEY STILL RATTLE. I HAVE CONTACTED GM MYSELF BUT THEY REFUSE TO HELP.
