I have experienced intermittent loss of power steeringi in my 1997 gmc yukon when making left turns. I took the vehicle in for service on 10/24/2003 (trouble not found). I took it in again on 10/31/2003 and they replaced the power steering evo sensor ($213.60). Still have trouble. Again I took the vehicle for service on 11/19/2003 when the power steering pump was replaced ($648.50). The vehicle still ng. Took it in on 12/1/2003,can't isolate trouble. Again on 12/10/2003, this time they changed the power steering box? So far the trouble seems to be fixed. Then I saw an article showing the exact same trouble I'd been experiencing with other gmc vehicles. However, my vehicle wasn't listed as one of the models they were looking at. This should be checked out.

I have had to have my 1997 gmc yukon towed three times in the past 6 months due to engine failure while driving. At first, they thought it was the transmission. The transmission was replaced. The second time, I was driving and the engine started missing, then just died. No steering, nothing. It was towed to the shop again to have the transmission rechecked. Got the yukon back after a month, drove it home (about 90 miles)...it was fine. Then the second day after getting it back, it again started jerking, missing, and then died. I was on a hill in town when it stopped. My yukon started rolling backwards, and I had to force the wheel to sharply steer it into a parking lot. I almost hit several cars that didn't know the vehicle had lost power. It has once again been towed to the shop. What is causing it to suddenly miss then die?

While proceeding through a road curve to the right(only) at speeds above 35 MPH, the power steering assist suddenly releases or gives way, resulting in over steering , and veering to the right. Problem manifests itself only in right turns above 35 MPH, and only when steering wheel exceeds a rotation of 35-40 degrees.

While making a left or right turn on a curve, the steering feels like it goes away and there is no steering control at all. The steering gear box has been replaced by the dealership.
