The steering develops play and feels loose after the vehicle warms up. The steering problem is especially noticeable at 30 mph, but the steering is also feels loose at higher speeds. The vehicle was at the dealer, wilton motors 6 times for the steering problem. Another dealer also had it 1 time for this problem. The problem is not resolved. The trailer hitch receiver bent during normal trailer towing. The trailer being towed is 5475 lbs. Dry. The vehicle is rated to tow 6500lbs. The hitch receiver has a rating of 1000 tongue wt. And 10,000 lbs. Trailer wt. For an equalized hitch. This receiver is bent or twisted up, causing the ball mount and ball to rise approximately 1 inch. The receiver was installed on the new vehicle as part of the trailer towing package. The trailer or the Tahoe may have a design flaw that causes this problem.

Erratic power steering assist while driving. NHTSA action number EA99011. I have been expereincing this same problem with my Tahoe. Any suggestions on how I may approach my local Chevrolet dealer with this problem. Do you know if Chevrolet is addressing this problem? any suggestions you may have would be greatly appreciated. I can be contacted at bandgmay@hotmail.com thank you!
The vehicle's power steering is over sensitive and will react to the slightest movement of the steering wheel. Dealer says it needed a new steering box. Problem still exist. The steering sensor has been replaced to correct problem.
While driving the steering occasionally pulls to the right without warning. I read in usa today a recall was being considered and was wondering about the status.
Steering is real loose. It fells as though consumer is driving over oil when making a left or right turn. When consumer contacted dealer about the problem, consumer was told that the problem was with the steering assist sensor. The problem has not been corrected. Report given by husband, robert wisemore.
The steering occasional appears to be very light, like it was floating in the air. And the steering appears to over compensate during the steering pulls by itself. Dealer replaced the idler arm, and did front wheel alignment but the problem did not go away
Steering erratic at all speeds when turning or changing lanes, feels like lose control of steering. This was reported several times to jack wilson Chevrolet in St augustine fl, who told me there was no problem.I
While driving along a road at about 25 mph my power steering failed and never returned. The dealer indicated that a sensor became loose and caused the power steering pump to fail. They suggested that I call the GM hot line. GM was not very nice or helpful. They asked how much mileage. They indicated that anything that they would do would be under their good will program. They then asked me how much I was willing to pay. When I indicated GM=80% and me 20% of a $462 repair bill they asked me to hold on and then came back and said that they were not willing to pay anything. I asked them why they even bothered to ask me how much I would be willing to pay--and they indicated that the truck had a lot of mileage and that I should have taken the extended waranty program. I feel the dealer was trying to inform me that this power steering pump should not have gone in the mileage that I had. I believe that a bad accident could have resulted had I been driving on a curvey road. GM appears to be disinterested in my welfare. I thought that beonka jones was very rude in handling the matter.
When driving the speed sensitive steering has full boost at all times which makes the steering very sensitive and dangerous, overstear and lane changes happens everyday.
