Description of the problem | The initial problem started in dec. 2014 while turning at low speeds while parking especially when it was very cold out. The power steering seems to go out and it is really hard to turn. This happened every once in a while. I took it to a chevy dealer because i received a tsb in the mail. The chevy dealer said that the problem was not covered under the bulletin because my steering gear is leaking which is not part of the tsb. My power steering fluid is still full. Cost to repair would be $1701. 09. My vehicle is exhibiting the same problems as two tsb but the dealer still says it is not covered. Now in april 2015 the problem is happening all the time even while driving and turning at normal speeds. This is a huge safety issue and should be addressed by chevy. I don't understand how a known safety issue is not covered! |
