Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The issue was first observed when initiating a 90 degree right hand turn into a parking space at approximately 10mph. The wheel did not respond to the turn and felt as if it was being grabbed or pinched, the only driver option was to immediately apply the brakes. The wheel then had to be muscled in order to turn the vehicle. Since that instance, this issue has increased in frequency and has become a daily occurrence. The issue has been observed by all three regular drivers of the vehicle. More often than not, the vehicle must be reversed to re-initiate the turn so as not to hit other vehicles or pedestrians. Additionally, it was independently observed by our mechanic when taking the vehicle for a test drive after performing unrelated work on the vehicle. A related issue observed includes a sensation of pinching or binding of the steering wheel when initiating a turn at low speed; after experiencing this brief sensation the wheel then turns without issue. The dangerous aspect of this issue is that the driver is not certain that the wheel is actually going to turn. However the driver cannot just apply the brakes as that may result in getting rear ended and at the same time is apprehensive about muscling the wheel. The vehicle was just brought in for inspection of the steering issues by our certified chevrolet service center. Their diagnosis indicated that the steering rack requires replacement at an estimated cost of $1600 and needs two (2) days in the shop. They indicated it was not a drive train warranty item. Current mileage on the vehicle is approximately 80,000 miles.
