STEERING

1 complaint

THE STEERING WAS HARD WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN, AS IF THE VAN DIDN'T HAVE ANY POWER STEERING. MAKING RIGHT TURNS DIDN'T REQUIRE ANY EFFORT AT ALL, IT TURNED TOO EASY. CITY CHEVROLET FIXED THE PROBLEM. I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE OTHER VENTURES THAT WERE LISTED IN THE RECALL. FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY I HAD TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED AND COULDN'T WAIT FOR A MANUFACTURE RECALL ON MY VAN'S VIN# BECAUSE AT THAT TIME THERE WASN'T A RECALL
