STEERING
HOW MANY PEOPLE MUST DIE BEFORE GM ISSUES A RECALL ON DEFECTIVE STEERING SPEED SENSORS? THIS IS A WELL-KNOW PROBLEM IN 1997 AND 1998 CHEVROLET PICKUP TRUCKS. THE DEALER CALLS THIS A 6.624 STEERING SENSOR FAILURE; PART NUMBER 26064468. THIS FAILURE CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO ABRUPTLY CHANGE LANES WHEN CORNERING. I THINK IT IS DEPLORABLE FOR GM TO IGNORE THIS PROBLEM AS IT IS TRUELY A LIFE-THREATENING COMPONENT FAILURE. *AK
