Steering wheel problems. This seems to be a common problem on all gmc truck products(go to www. Edmunds.com -town hall meeting for hundreds of consumer complaints).
No summary
When making a turn at highway speed, the power steering changed causing over steering in the turn which resulted in the vehicle going off of the road. The dealer has replaced the dtc sensor .mjs
Have had a moderate to sometimes severe steering vibration from the day I drove the truck off the lot....vibration is most noticeable at speeds over 65mph.........gets worse as speeds increase.........have taken vehicle back to dealer twice in the first 1000 miles ....each time the tires were spin balanced..no satisfaction....dealer is now stating that they took other trucks for test rides and they have same vibration characteristics....is this inherent in the design? ...I've checked the complaints section of your site and noticed that nearly 1/2 of the complaints for 1999 gmc/chevrolet pickups involve some sort of steering wheel vibration....
Truck has been in for several repairs-problems still exits. No safety defect mentioned.
Tie rod ends lock nut. The locking nut is .19 inch from locking position on the drivers side and the lock nut on the passenger side is .312 from locking. Driving the vehicle in this condition will in time cause alignment problems first,and lead to separation of components ,causing loss of steering. This vehicle came from the factory in this condition. Mileage was 40 when left the dealer. Has 49 miles on it now. It is scheduled to be picked up by the dealer on 4-june-1999, and repaired. Manufacturer has not been contacted yet.
When driving at any speed steering is working intermittently, which may cause the consumer to lose control.
