Extreme over steering at speeds over 45 mph. Nearly caused a freeway accident with car full of kids. Previously owned a 93 Suburban with no complaints. Have only owned this one 4 months and I am scared to drive it because the steering is so erratic. Also travel frequently with horse trailer and worry that the over steering will cause the trailer to swerve, consequences would be catastrophic.

I bought a used Suburban and since I have owned it I have been having trouble with the steering. While driving down the road the steering wheel jerks suddenly to the right. I really have to keep a tight grip on the steering wheel while driving, especially when on a road with alot of twists and turns because it jerkes hard and is very dangerous. I worry that with the steering wheel jerking it is going to cause a wreck because it sometimes has sent me towards the lane next to me or off the road completly, this could be a serious problem. This is not something that just happens every once in awhile, it happens everytime I am driving. I have seen other complaints listed on this site for the exact same thing. I just wonder if there is a recall or what will remedy this problem.

ABS failure, electrical failure and front and rear brake failure. This correspondence is not available via.I believe the letter may have been misplaced while in transition from dimms to artemis via tran tech employees. The power windows and air condition failed. There was a violent gear change between 2 wheel drive and 4 wheel drive. The battery leaked and also the cables were corroded, there was a loud noise from the steering column, the consumer experienced complete steering failure while making a left turn.

Heater and ac controls went out twice. Factory replaced them @ $125, then 9 months later it went out again. Factory said it was under 12 months, but I had driven over 12,000 miles so it was not under warranty any longer. Windsheild wiper module goes bad. Wipers will suddenly stop or wont turn on. On 3rd module now. Brakes, constant grinding and weak stops. Have replaced rotors 4 times. Same results. Steering loses tension when steering to the left. Problem is still ongoing but has made me almost lose control several times.

When driving steering wheel feels loose. It moves very easily up or down without using the adjustment lever.

While making a left turn vehicle lost power steering. The vehicle began to wander and jerked to the left. There was recall 03V527000 for the steering gear bearing, but this vehicle was not included due to VIN. This occurred due to the sensor controlling power assist (evo sensor/exhaust valve opening).

Steering wheel unexpectedly turns during turning maneuvers at slow to moderate speeds. Feels like a quick tug on steering wheel and then returns back to original position.

At speeds of over 10 miles per hour, the steering wheel jerks left and right intermittently. I then have to correct and/or oversteer to keep the truck on the road. This first began in 1999, at approx 30,000 miles on the vehicle.
