1998 Chevrolet Suburban steering complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 21 of 21, newest first, as owners wrote them.
When driving at almost any speed steering slips and jerks to right or left. The tires don't move with the slip. It started out as just a right shift, and now it is jerking both to the right and left.
The vehicle has been experiencing several suspension related problems, the side shock absorber split causing a rattle, the dealer replaced the bolts on both the driver and passenger sides, consumer complained of steering wheel pulling to the right, the dealer found that the vehicle was out of alignment and after the alignment was completed, the problem still existed, the dealer later found a left front inner tie rod nut loose, however the vehicle still pulled to the right so a tire rotation was done, also, the coil spring insulators were missing causing a clunking noise when turning, it was later found that the insulators were improperly installed, the vehicle continues to pull to the right after all the repairs and the dealer can not find a remedy for the problem.
Vehicle was delivered to me with a noticeable pull to the right. Repeated trips back to the dealer for service and repeated talks with various levels of management at the dealership have not corrected the problem. In fact, the service personnel refuse to acknowledge the problem at all. An independent repair shop has also been unable to correct the problem. I have given up on trying to get the problem fixed, but still consider it to be a serious safety issue.
Vehicle veers to left / right, counter clockwise from the way its swings. This happens at 55 to 60 MPH. Dealer has been contacted. Vehicle has had continued component replacements in the suspension and steering due to defect. Also power steering sensor was replaced/nuts:bolts that hold tire together sheared off, causing tire to fall off.
Whenever a turn is made it appears the vehicle would turn more then the driver required. Can the federal safety agency help or provide additional information. Dealer was not contacted at this time.
Power steering pump also powers the braking system. Brakes fail at panic stops and pedals go to floor. Power steering system causes the vehicle to wander at hwy speeds. Requires constant readjustments. At times will lose control. Gm says normal. Have contacted them and refused assitance in these issues but received only standard corporate no assistance/form answers.
Steering wheel "skips" during turns at 30 to 50 MPH.
Steering sensor failed causing steering to bind momentarily-then full power assist occur. Nlm
Steering wheel sensor failed. In addirion, radio/electrical c omponents will not cut off when the ignition is turned off.
No steering control.
