| 49000 mi | The vehicle started having the same issue it has had over and over with the steering. It goes "light" and the driver's inputs to the steering wheel are not translated properly to the road. Turn right, car goes straight. Duplicated by dealer!!!

My company has removed the car from service and I am under the impression that it was "removed from service" by GM |
