What owners say

Filed Mar 22, 2004 · Steering · 80,000 miles · WI

I own a 1999 chevrolet tahoe that has an ongoing on and off problem with the steering whereby the steering wheel will jerk suddenly in one direction or the other (usually pulling to the right) while I am driving. The feeling is as if I have hit a patch of ice or oil. On occassion it happens once, maybe twice in a commute. On other occassions, such as this morning, it is much more frequent. It feels as if I am losing control of the car. There is no rhyme or reason as to when it happens - it happens in dry weather, wet weather (when it is particularly scary), when the outside temperature is warm and when it is cold.

The positive terminal on the original delco battery broke off, leaking acid down the wheel well onto the right front brake lines and the ABS electrical connector to the right front brake. The acid corroded the brake line, electrical connector, and removed the paint on the frame and lower a-frame. The failure occured in our driveway and the vehicle was disabled. Had to buy a new battery and 2 cans of battery acid cleaner to remove the acid in the right side engine compartment and lower frame assembly. The brake problem occured as my wife was driving home. She said that the steering was shaking and rumbling. It was pulling to one side. I found the left front caliper had seized in the cradle assembly and worn the outer pad to less than a tenth of an inch. She said it had been squealing for a couple of days. The right side was ok, but, I changed all front pads any how. I had to clean rust from the caliper and mount to allow movement in the assembly. I still have the bad battery and the brake pads.

Truck pulls to one side, brakes shoes found to be cracked, master cylinder leaks

Pulling up to a red light and upon applying brakes to slow down, vehicle started pulling left to right and jerking violently. Contacted dealer, they were unable to find the problem.

Vehicle wanders when towing, and loses control. Inadequate suspension and overall weight on the tahoe causes it to wander and lose control. Dealer aware and tried to remedy problem. Problem still exists.

Excessive play in the steering wheel, making the vehicle wander and hard to control

Filed Nov 13, 1998 · Steering, Suspension · OH

Vehicle drifted hard to the right. After repairs drifted to the left, the vehicle wandered on the road. Also, there is alot of play in the steering, more than it should be. Dealer contacted and stated the problem was a characteristic of the vehicle, and could not duplicate the problem.
