I BOUGHT A NEW 2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO CREW CAB. SINCE BUYING THIS TRUCK, I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT TROUBLE WITH THE STEERING LOCKING UP. IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN LEFT UNDER 15 MPH. I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO DIFFERENT DEALERS AND GOTTEN DIFFERENT ANSWERS EVERY TIME. THE ONLY THING THE MECHANICS AGREE ON IS THAT CHEVY KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT IS UNSURE HOW TO FIX IT. MY PRIMARY CONCERN IS THE STEERING IS LOCKING UP EVERY TIME YOU TURN LEFT. CURRENTLY, IT IS ONLY HAPPENING AT LOW SPEEDS, BUT I'M WORRIED IT WILL BEGIN TO HAPPEN AT FASTER SPEEDS. I USE THIS TRUCK AS MY PRIMARY VEHICLE PLUS I HAVE THREE YOUNG CHILDREN WHO ARE ALWAYS WITH ME. THIS TRUCK IS ALSO USED TO HAUL OUR BOAT. *TR
