THE STEERING CAUSES THE TRUCK TO SWERVE OUT OF DRIVING LANE. THE FUEL PUMP SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HWY. WITH NO WARNING. THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR WOULD WORK INTERMITANTLY WHEN EVER IT FELT LIKE, THIS SAME WIPER MOTOR IS USED ON GMC TRUCKS AND HAS BEEN RECALLED WHY HASN'T IT BE RCALLED ON CHEVROLET TRUCKS, IT'S THE EXACT SAME PART #. ENGINE COOLING LINES LEAKED AT OIL COOLER, DEALER BANNER CHEVROLET CHANGED OIL PAN GASKET , REAR OIL CRANK SEAL AND THEN OIL PAN GASKET AGAIN TO NO AVAIL, BROUGHT TO BRYAN CHEVROLET WHICH IS ANOTHER DEALER AND THEY FIXED THE LEAK TURNED OUT TO BE O RING ON OIL COOLER HOUSING.

STEERING - AT TIMES WHEN STOPPED, THERE IS NO POWER ASSIST; AT TIMES WHILE MOVING AT ANY SPEED, THERE WILL BE WAY TOO MUCH POWER ASSIST CAUSING VEHICLES TO CHANGE LANES/RUN OFF ROAD RAPIDLY. (THIS IS DANGEROUS) --- HEATER BLOWER MOTOR MAKES INTERMITENT TICKING NOISE --- NEITHER PROBLEM HAS BEEN FIXED BY DEALER; DEALER SAYS ALL LIKE MODELS DO IT; DEALER SAYS THEY HAVE CONTACTED MANUFACTURER AND THERE IS NO FIX.
