“Truck over-steers to the left, especially on a left hand curve. The steering wheel will momentarly pull hard to the left - then return to center. During this time the vehicle will unexpectedly veer left, especially if you do not have a firm grip on the wheel and counter act the hard pull. A local Chevrolet dealer indictaed this was a common occurance on these vehicles and that replacing a sensor in the power steering unit would fix it. However, this repair is not covered, since the vehicle is out of warranty and Chevrolet has not issued a recall. …”
