STEERING
POWER STEERING SUDDENLY GOES INTO MAX ASSIST WHEN MAKING GRADUAL TURNS CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO JERK OUT OF YOUR HANDS AND ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. VEHICLE SWERVED ALL OVER THE FREEWAY UNTIL IT COULD BE STOPPED. APPARENTLY GM IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM SINCE THEY MAKE A BYPASS KIT (P/N 19168825) TO ELIMINATE THE FAULTY ACTUATOR MOUNTED ON THE POWER STEERING PUMP BUT THEY WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL EVEN THOUGH THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD. GM EXPECTS YOU TO BUY A $70 KIT TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING RANDOM INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH MY SUBURBAN FOR THE LAST 8-9 YRS. *TR *JS

TIRES
I WAS DRIVING DOWN AIRLINE HWY NORTH BOUND BEFORE PEQUE LANE RIGHT BY GOLF COURSE AT BRIDGE THE ROAD IS NOT REALLY A POT HOLE BUT ROAD IS VERY DISTORTED AND THE WAY I HIT IT, IT PUT A BIG EGG AND SPLIT IN MY TIRE. THIS IS AN AREA WERE IT HAS BEEN LIKE THIS FOR AWHILE AND IF YOU HIT THAT SPOT IT WILL MESS YOUR CAR UP OR MAKE IT HARD TO CONTROL YOUR CAR. THE TIRES I OWN ARE VERY HIGH PRICED AND I PURCHASED NOT TO LONG AGO. I WOULD LIKE HELP IN REPLACING THE TIRE. I DID GO BACK AND TAKE PICTURES OF THE AREA IN WITCH I HIT TO CAUSE THIS TO HAPPEN TO THE TIRE. THE TIRES ARE $700 TO $800 EACH BUT ONLY ONE FRONT RIGHT TIRE WAS DAMAGED. I WILL HAVE TO ORDER IT. *JB
