1998 Chevrolet Tahoe Steering

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FEELS LIKE TRUCK IS HYDROPLANING/SLIDING TO THE RIGHT AND A BRIEF LOST OR LOOSE FEELING IN THE STEERING WHEEL..... FRONT END HAS BEEN CHECKED AND EVERYTHING IS GOOD/TIGHT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1998 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WAS VERY LOOSE. THROUGH ONLINE RESEARCH, HE DISCOVERED THE DEFECT AND CALLED CHEVROLET AND GM. HE WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 115,000.

1998 CHEVY TAHOE LOOSE STEERING AT HIGHWAY SPEED WHEN GOING THRU A SLIGHT CURVE IT FEELS AS THOUGH YOU HIT A PATCH OF ICE. THE STEERING WHEEL HAS A SLIGHT JERK THAT SCARES THE LIFE OUT OF YOU. REPLACED STEERING SENSOR, STEERING BOX, ENTIRE FRONT END AND IT STILL DOES IT..THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. *TR

WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT FEELS LIKE DRIVING ON ICE. WHEN IT IS COLD THE STEERING FEEL LIKE THIS ALL THE TIME TILL THE TAHOE WARMS UP THEN I AM BACK THE RANDOM TURNING. WILL NOT LET ANYONE IN MY HOUSEHOLD DRIVE THE TAHOE BECAUSE OF THIS. FOUND A BUNCH OF OTHER TAHOES WITH THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THE STEERING EVO SENSOR IS BAD. LOOKS LIKE THE TAHOE WOULD SEND SOME TYPE OF MESSAGE TO INFORM THE DRIVER TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED OR A BYPASS INSTALLED IN CASE OF FAILURE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AND MAKING TURNS STEERING WHEEL BECAME LOOSE. DEALERSHIP SERVICED VEHICLE AND REPLACED EVO SENSOR. *AK

THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM AS STATED IN RECALL #97V142000, HOWEVER THE VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER WAS NOT INCUDED IN THE RECALL. *JB STEERING WANDERS 1/4 TURNOR SO AND MAKES VEHICLE SLIGHTLY JERK.*TS

WHILE DRIVING, SUDDENLY MY VEHICLE FELT LIKE I WAS TRYING TO STEER A VEHICLE ON ICE. WHEN I ASKED SOMEONE IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, I WAS TOLD THIS PROBLEM WAS NOT UNCOMMON, ALTHOUGH DANGEROUS.*AK

STEERING WHEEL AT FIRST WOULD MOVE ON ITS OWN TO RIGHT AT HIGH SPEEDS, RESULTING IN MOMENTARY LOSS OF CONTROL. THIS PROBLEM HAS ADVANCED, AND STEERING WHEEL WILL MOVE TO RIGHT AND LEFT AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION/ATTACHMENTS. *AK

WHEN TURNING SLIGHTLY TO THE RIGHT AT SPEED (AT 30+MPH - NEVER FROM A STOP), VEHICLE SUDDENLY OVERSTEERS LIKE IT SUDDENLY HAS INCREASED POWER ASSIST. THIS OCCURS AT THE SAME STEERING POSITION EACH TIME - APROX 30 DEGREES OFF CENTER, AND IS SOMEWHAT ERRATIC IN FREQUENCY, BUT OCCURS ABOUT TWICE PER DAY. *AK

INCONSISTANT STEERING RESISTANTANCE AT ALL SPEEDS CAUSING THE WHEEL TO JERK AND OVER STEER. THIS PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT.

RECENTLY I SENT MY CHEVROLET TAHOE (1998) TO THE DEALER IN ROCHESTER, NEW YORK. WE HAD CONCERNS DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE TRUCK STEERING WAS EXTRAORDINARILY NARROW IN TURNING RADIUS SINCE WE BOUGHT IT. WITHIN THE LAST FEW MONTHS WE NOTICED THAT WHILE THE TRUCK WAS STATIONARY, OR IN PARK, IF WE TRIED TO TURN THE WHEEL IT WOULD STICK UNTIL WE MOVED A LITTLE AND THEN IT WOULD FREE ITSELF.

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOVE VEHICLE. *AK

STEERING WHEEL TURNS INTO THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. *AK

AT 31,000 MILES THE SPEED SENSITIVE STEERING WOULD SUDDENLY CHANGE THE STEERING EFFORT AND WOULD LEAD TO LOSS OF CONTROL..HAD IT REPAIRED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY, THEN AT 68,000 MILES IT HAS FAILED AGAIN. *AK

WHILE DRIVING STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO GO INTO A DITCH. BUT WHEN THE INVESTIGATOR CHECKED THE VEHICLE STEERING WHEEL WAS LOOSE. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION AND VIN#. *AK

STEERING PULLS TO THE RIGHT.

STEERING WHEEL WILL ERRATICALLY MOVE WHILE CORNERING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED EVO SENSOR WITH CONTINUED PROBLEM. BOTTOM LINE THIS PART DID NOT CORRECT STEERING DEFECT! DEALERSHIP DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE CONTINUED STEERING PROBLEM. *AK

WHEN TURNING VEHICLE SUDDENLY SEEMS TO OVERSTEER LIKE IT SUDDENLY HAS INCREASED POWER ASSIST. DEALER SUGGESTED DIFFERENT ALIGNMENT SPECS. WHICH DID NOT WORK. STEERING BOX AND PUMP WERE ALSO CHANGED.
