2001 Buick Regal steering complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 14 of 14, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Consumer complained about a power steering problem, especially when turning left. *ak the wheel locked up for a second.
My 2001 buick regal has a "looseness" wobbling" feeling in the steering on all pavements and is especially noticeable while turning or cornering. I had the car into a buick dealer several months ago and they put a grease bushing in the intermediate steering shaft. The problem was not solved, but was lesser for a while. Now at 31,500 miles the problem is again very noticeable and even more so than before. I took the car back to the dealer and they there is nothing wrong with the front end. I have had several other people drive the car and they certainly noticed the loose feeling in the steering.
There was a squeaking noise coming from the steering wheel area when turning left or right. The dealer has been contacted. Please provide any further information.
