I read about the investagation in the steering problems as described as sudden oversteering or jerks. I wanted to inform you that I had similiar experience. I took mine Tahoe back to the dealer and they replaced the steering sensor. I also have previously owned a 1997 K1500 pickup that did the same thing.
