“Steering gets so hard, I at 220lbs can barely steer the car going forward or reverse. My daughter is learning on this car for her license but I am no longer letting her drive it since the steering randomly gets hard and the electronic stability control and ABS lights have come on also. It also says in the information section traction control service. Something needs to be done from GM for these problems before they kill people.”
