FIRST BOX WAS BAD AND THE 2ND SEEMS TO WORK BETTER. BUT STILL THE STEERING LOSS. THEY DONT KNOW WHATS WRONG WITH IT. ANY HELP IN FIXING THIS?
1999 Chevrolet Sububan - Intermittent power steering loss, feels like something skips and pulls to the right. It does make you feel like you need to correct. Local technician said it could be the Electronic Variable Orifice (EVO) - said it must go to the GM dealer for repair. Does anyone know what the normal repair and cost are?. Thanks
I have not taken this to the dealer as of yet but i will make an app. And try my luck! It seems as if the variable effort steering control is causing the problem of the steering going from normal to real free then back to normal. It can be a little nerve racking to say the least. Not sure may need a new ves control
When driving the '99 Chevy Suburban, it feels as if you lose steering. It feels like something skips, or like you are driving on ice. It pulls to the right and it happens when you hit anything in the road, such as a bump, a construction groove or are making a turn. It makes you feel like you need to correct. About 5 years ago we had some friends that had the same model suburban and complained about this issue, but since it hadn't happened to us, we let it go. They over corrected and had a tragic accident that killed one of their children. They told us afterward that GM knew of the problem, but it wasn't widespread, so it wasn't worth a recall. Does anyone know of a similar problem. I have read about it on the Tahoe, but not the suburban. Thanks.
