Loud whining noise while turning, and occasional difficult turning period. Contatced chevy dealership and they quoted $1000, repair when i explained the issue. Took to mechanic who flushed the power steering fluid but the issue persisted. I've seen numerous complaints about this issue on line , it has to be addressed by the manufacturer before someone is seriouly hurt or killed. *tr

I was not happy with the decision and they…
