| 2011 | STEERING | STEERING STICKS JUST LEFT OF CENTER, TYPICALLY AT FREEWAY SPEEDS, BUT ALSO AS LOW AS 40 MPH. STICK IS INTERMITTENT AND WEAK ENOUGH THAT IT DOES NOT CURRENTLY PRESENT A DANGER TO OPERATING THE VEHICLE SAFELY. STEERING MUST BE HELD STATIONARY FOR IN EXCESS OF 2-3 SECONDS JUST LEFT OF CENTER FOR THE STEERING TO STICK. WEAVING OR SWAYING THE CAR LEFT TO PROVIDE PROVIDES SMOOTH AND DIRECT STEERING INPUT. THE ISSUE HAS BECOME MORE INTERMITTENT WITH COLDER WEATHER, TYPICALLY REQUIRING LONGER DRIVES FOR THE ISSUE TO REAPPEAR. *TR |
| 2012 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | THE RADIO ELECTRICAL PANEL WOULD TURN ON & OFF INTERMITTENTLY, THEN THE DRIVERS GAUGE PANEL WOULD FLICKER. AFTER THE GAUGE PANEL FLICKERED, THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND THE POWER STEERING SHUT OFF. THEN THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND THE TRACTION CONTROL STOPPED WORKING. THEN I WENT TO ROLL UP THE WINDOWS AND THE WHOLE DASH PANEL FLICKERED, THEN THE WINDOWS WOULD NOT ROLL UP. THERE APPEARS TO BE A SERIOUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEM IN THE VEHICLE SOMEWHERE. IT ACTS AS THOUGH THERE IS A SHORT IN THE WIRING HARNESS SOMEWHERE. I AM TAKING IT TO THE CHEVROLET DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS. *TR |
