| The power steering in the vehicle jumps from left to right going down the road. it is very hard to maintain your lane when this happens. it happens at all different points whether the car has been running or just started, it can last up to 30 min. quit then start again it is very unsafe. my cayaltic converter has also gone out in this car. it looses tranmission power, doesnt accerlerate propmtly. when we first got the car we had it in the shop for the back trim leaking, trunk release not working, the car wouldnt start do to the aftermarket alarm the dealer ship placed on it, and the paint peeled. no i am having major issues and it is out of warranty. i wll never buy another chevy. this was the worst mistake ever and thos car is unsafe to drive | |||
