STEERING
1997 GMC TRUCK. WHEN TURNING TO THE RIGHT, SOMETIMES THERE IS NO RESISTANCE ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE TRUCK CAN VEER (HARD RIGHT) AT ANY SPEED. THE SLIGHTEST WEIGHT OF YOUR HAND CAN UNEXPECTEDLY CAUSE AN IMMEDIATE HARD RIGHT TURN. FAULTY E.V.O. ROTATION SENSOR REPLACED BY DEALER ON 06/25/98, 5/24/99 AND 8/27/99. GM EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR THIS SENSOR TO 65,000 MILES. SENSOR IS STILL DEFECTIVE. THIS DEFECT CAN AND PROBABLE HAS CAUSED SEVERE ACCIDENTS AND POSSIBLE DEATH. OLD PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. CURRENT DEFECTIVE PART IS IN USE NOW. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
POWER DOOR LOCK FAILED ON DRIVER DOOR. YOU CAN NOT OPEN DOOR WITH OUT LIFTING HAND LATCH. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS-- MEANING YOU CAN NOT OPEN DOOR BY DOOR HANDLE-- THERE IS NO OVERRIDE LIKE PROVIDED ON OTHER VEHICLES. OTHER DOOR FAILED 2 MONTHS LATER. TRUCK LOCKS AND UNLOCKS DOORS WHEN MOVING SHIFTER FROM PARK TO DRIVE, THERE IS NO PROGRAM OPTION TO DELETE THIS OPTION. SO YOU LOCK AND UNLOCK DOORS EVERY TIME YOU SHIFT TRUCK TRANSMISSION TO PARK OR IN DRIVE. THIS IS NOT NEEDED IN MY CASE, SINCE YOU CAN MANUALLY DO SAME. THIS IS MANUFACTURE DEFECT AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR
