 Description of the problemWe just purchased this car saturday 28 may '16, and drove it off the dealer lot at 5:09pm. Within 2 hours, while driving down the freeway at 60-75mph, the steering began to catch & stick in place. We had to jerk the wheel rather forcefully to get it to cut loose & allow us, a human, to once again gain control of the steering of this car. The next day, while driving down the freeway again, the same thing, only this time, the wind gust blew so hard it blew the car into the other lane! Thank god, there was no one in that lane at that moment. This is all due to the fact that the car's computerized steering system would not allow the driver to correct the steering when incurring wind pressure! You folks at nhtsa, as well as gm, know this is a problem & yet even nhtsa rep, catherine howden, implied its not dangerous and does not warrant a recall when she stated: "... The symptoms described would be a brief, perceptible change in steering feel that has little to no effect on the drivers ability to safely steer the vehicle." bs!! You drive one of these cars out on the freeway. Put your precious family in it & then tell me it's safe! This has the familiar stench of bribery written all over it! To top it all off; as soon as the shops opened tuesday, i took this car into a shop that i know i can trust, to fix the issue. They were straight up & told me "this is an issue with the electronic steering that chevy makes. It's their computer problem & they have to fix it. We don't have the tools." i took it to the dealer that day & they refused to fix it! Why? Because, according to the clerk at smith chevrolet, luke, they drove it 8 miles and it didn't catch for them. What a joke!! It has already been well established that the car has to be driven for at least an hour before this will happen. Where is your conscience? Fix this!! It is very dangerous!!!
